Jeremy Chardy Preview – Can Chardy take his chance?
France’s Jeremy Chardy is the higher-ranked player of the two players in this one.
He opened in the First Round with a straight-set victory before needing a decider against Aslan Karatsev in the Second Round.
In the match outright Chardy is the 2/5 odds-on favourite* (odds taken 23:31 GMT, July 27th 2021 at Ladbrokes).
What makes this such an interesting matchup, is not only what is at stake.
But it is also that the form of the higher-ranked player isn’t much to write home about.
Chardy is W3 L5 in his last eight matches.
He has lost six of his last ten so there hasn’t exactly been red-hot stuff from the 34-year-old.
So on paper, this Third Round Match looks like being a closely contested match.
Chardy has met Broady twice before in his career and has come out on top in both of those.
They were both 2-0 match wins as well on grass.
The most recent of those two clashes was in 2018. This is likely to be a very different ball game.
It wouldn’t be a big surprise to see this go the distance.
So Over 22.5 Games in Olympic Tennis betting is at a quote of 5/6* (odds taken 23:31 GMT, July 27th 2021 at Ladbrokes).
Liam Broady Preview – Can Brit upset the odds again?
In the last round of the Olympic Tennis tournament, Britain’s Liam Broady had been a heavy match underdog.
That’s because he faced recent Wimbledon semi-finalist Hubert Hurkacz.
The bookies didn’t give Broady much of a chance in that one.
But he held his nerve brilliantly to take the match in a deciding set. He produced a lot of control there to take the decider 6-3.
That will have likely sent his confidence through the roof.
That is the biggest win of the season for Broady who is on course for a career season.
In the match outright for Olympic Tennis betting, Broady is the 2/1 underdog* (odds taken 23:31 GMT, July 27th 2021 at Ladbrokes).
Just put this into context, Broady has never before won more than two matches in a tournament above the Challenger Tour level.

Liam Broady had taken a hard-fought win in the first round over Francisco Cerundolo in the opening round.
So that’s both matches that have gone the distance.
That’s a lot of work, but the 27-year-old should have the fresher legs and should have nothing to fear in this one.
This would be something if he can pull this off for arguably the biggest win of his career.
