To get you started betting on tennis, here are a few tennis free picks for the Grand Prix de Tennis de Lyon to consider. Tennis betting could not be more thrilling!
Tennis Betting Line: Igor Andreev +140 Tommy Haas -180
Match Time: 05:00 A.M. EST
Tennis Prediction: No.33 Igor Andreev holds a 1-0 advantage over No.10 Tommy Haas, a victory he notched during the RR match up of Russia vs. Germany at the Davis Cup (clay). Andreev favors clay.
In Lyon, the odds makers favor No.10 Tommy Haas. The surface suits Haas’s game better in this match up, and despite having suffered a loss against Andreev this year, their first round meeting is a perfect opportunity for Haas to avenge that loss.
Tennis Free Pick: Haas in straight sets
Tennis Betting Line: Diego Hartfield +425 Nicolas Mahut -800
Match Time: 05:00 A.M. EST
Tennis Prediction: Frenchman No.52 Nicolas Mahut his outrageously favored in this match up against No.95 Diego Hartfield. However, he is the better bet in this match. Home court advantage, as well as a recent resurgence in his game recommends him on this line.
Tennis Free Pick: Mahut in three sets
Tennis Betting Line: Arnaud Clement -220 Benjamin Becker +170
Match Time: 05:00 A.M. EST
Tennis Prediction: Frenchman No.42 Arnaud Clement holds home court advantage and arrives with a 24/24 record for the season. At -220, he would be a good play. However, in three previous attempts in France this year – Marseille, French Open and Metz – Clement crashed out all three tournaments in the first round. Is this an indication that Clement has difficulty delivering under pressure situations?
No.74 Benjamin Becker brings a losing record at 20/31 into this match, making him a chancy bet. Although he is known to surprise on occasion, the instances are so few and far between that betting on him is always a bit of a risk. Feel like taking a chance?
Tennis Free Pick: Becker for the upset in straight sets.
