Kicker (+ 4.5) - Tiafoe For the first round at the Masters tournament in Miami, we have 25Learn Argentina Nicolas Kicker (#87) against 20time American Frances Tiafoe (#63).
Kicker has been in 100 since last year and is in the best phase of his career. Although clay player this year showed he can compete good players on slow hard surfaces as well. It started impressively with 2 winning the Australian Open, the 1 round with 3-2 set against Australian Thompson and the 2 round with 3-1 set against Slovak Lacko. His first Grand Slam win came last year on the RG dirt across Bosnian Dzumhur with 3-1 sets. We go to the Masters series under a grand slam and we have the first victory this year at Indian Wells against Vesely with 2-0 sets and then 2's 2 victory in the 2 round with 3 once against Bosnian Dzumhur. In the 7 round he played a big fight with the formidable Anderson but was defeated with 6-7 6-2. 1 has played in Miami for the past few years without getting to the main board and this year he will be looking for the XNUMX victory in Miami.
The young and talented American Tiafoe has been at 100 since last year, with an impressive presence in all the Grand Slam. 2 wins 1 round in Wibledon and Australian Open and 2 defeats 5 sets against Federer (Us Open) and Fognini (RG). Masters has since wins in the first rounds in Miami, Cincinnati and Shanghai, and he has opted for an Indian Wells account. This year he also won his 1 title (Delray Beach). Problem showing the previous week and defeating 2-0 from Escobedo in the 1 round, a bad sample at the unique game in the month.
I bet the 1.30 for the American victory is not based on their match data at the moment. Kicker is excited and does his best, he is looking for something more in the big tournaments and he will fight it to raise his level. Tiafoe has the points of last year's 1st round and is definitely a better player but as a youngster he does not have the absolute experience and stability to clear games easily! I believe Kicker will face him in the same way he did in Indian Wells last week against more experienced and better players, I will bet on + 4.5 Kicker's 1.62 handicap in 3 rendering given to bet with 10 / XNUMX.
