Val's Rio de Janeiro Finals Play

Casper Ruud disappointed last night losing straight up to J. Thompson in the final of the Los Cabos Open giving Thompson his first ever tournament on the ATP Tour. 

Record 19-20 (+0.15 units)

Mariano Navone +1.5 sets -133 (Risk 1.33 for 1 unit) Expected start time 3:30pm EST Feb 25th.

Two young Argentines face off this afternoon in the final of the Rio de Janeiro Open when S. Baez faces M. Navone. Win or lose this match, Navone will be flying up the rankings of the ATP Tour, currently ranked #113 he will move in the 60's with a loss and inside the top 50 with a win. Navone had a lot of success on the Challenger Tour in 2023 winning 5 tournaments and is finally able to show his talents on the ATP Tour. He has so impressive yesterday taking out #23 ranked and former top 10 ranked player C. Norrie is straight sets with relative ease 6-4 6-2. Baez has played well in 3 straight clay tournaments, reaching the semis at Cordoba, the quarters in Buenos Aires and now the final of Rio De Janeiro. The only advantage I see Baez having here is that he has more experience than Navone in this type of match at the ATP level. I believe Navone will challenge Baez here and will at least take a set in this match. You may want to even sprinkle .10 or .25 units on Navone ML +209 if you'd like a little extra payout.
