One more quarterfinal with Pablo Carreno-Busta (#19) facing Kevin Anderson (#8).
After the modest start of the Busta this year, this month at 2 Masters returned to last year's very good level of racing. At Indian Wells in a difficult game with Zeballos he won the 2-1 set, although he stayed behind the score, he managed to overturn 3-6, 6-3, 7-6. He then easily won the Russian Medvedev with 2-0 set 6-1, 7-5. Anderson was his opponent in the previous Busta defeat tournament with 2-1 set 4-6, 6-3, 7-6. In Miami with a very good pace and consistently good game 3 made easy wins with 2-0 sets against Istomin, Johnson and Verdasco.
The very good Anderson this year has also gone well with 2 Masters. Easy win in the start with Basilashvili 6-4, 6-3 but in the next game with Khachanov he left behind with set and then easily made overturning 4-6, 6-2, 6-3. In the last game 2-0 7-6, 6-4 2-XNUMX against Tiafoe with not so good XNUMX serve.
He has a good H2H 5-0 with Anderson against Busta but 4 last, 3 last year and 1 this year is all competing with two Busta winning sets and the other two losers with 2-0 sets with one TB in both. Better Busta this week and I think he'll be able to get set again. I will bet here on the +1.5 set of Carreno Busta in interwetten at odds of 1.75 to 3/10.
