We have two really interesting finals coming up this weekend. 18-year-old talent Jakub Mensik takes on Karen Khachanov in the Doha Final and surprise Jordan Thompson will face big favorite Casper Ruud in the Los Cabos ATP Final.
Mensik vs Khachanov
Mensik beat Gael Monfils (6-4, 1-6, 6-3) and will become the youngest finalist in the tournaments history.
“I have to say this performance was one of the best in my entire life. I am so glad I reached this level in the semis, so hopefully tomorrow I play like this. An amazing feeling with my first ATP final. I am speechless.”, commented the 18 year old.
The odds on Mensik are 3.00 (2/1 | +200) to beat Khachanov on Saturday and it’s quite a high odds if you think he can surprise again. A 2-1 set betting win for Khachanov also pays decent at 3.50 (5/2 | +250).
Thompson vs Ruud
Ruud has looked really impressing lately and maybe he’s close to reaching his best form again. The Norwegian downed last years champion in 2 sets to reach the final and his hardcourt tennis is looking better for each day.
In their H2H on tour, Ruud is 2-1 up but take note that their two Grand Slam matches went to five sets.
We believe he will win again against a surprise finalist in Jordan Thompson that beat top-seeded Alexander Zverev in the semi-final. Thompson will be seeking his first ATP tour singles title in this final.
Can Thompson get one set? Decent odds at 3.60 (13/5 | +260). A straight win for Ruud gives you 1.40 (2/5 | -250) at most online sportsbooks.
