Val’s ASB Classic - Auckland Semi-Finals Play
The 2024 tennis season has begun, with the season always starting down under with tournaments in Australia, New Zealand which are ramp up tournaments for the first Major of the season the Australian Open which runs from Jan 14th to 26th.
Arthur Fils -1.5 sets -113 (Risk 1.13 for 1 unit) Expected start time 2:30am Jan 11th.
Frenchman A. Fils takes on Germany's D. Altmaier in one of the semi-final matches at the Auckland open today. Many believe that the 19 year old Fils has the potential to be one of the best players from France in years. The last male French player to win a Major tournament was Y. Noah (Joakim Noah's father) whom won the French Open in 1983. R. Gasquet and J. Tsonga have had success but were never able to break through and win a Major. Fils is 4-1 on the season with his only loss to Russian A. Rublev in the quarters in a match that went 3 sets in Hong Kong. Fils has won 3 of his other 4 matches in straight sets with ease. Altmaier played a marathon 2 set match versus Canadian F. Auger-Aliassime last time out that went over 2.5 hours. Fils has won his two matches in this tournament in combined less time than it took Altmaier to beat Aliassime. Fils is rolling right now and a lot fresher than Altmaier being on court 2hr compared to Altmaier's 4hr and 6 minutes. I like Fils in straight sets here.
