Best Tennis Betting Tips Today: Hubert Hurkacz v Pablo Carreno-Busta
Poland’s Hubert Hurkacz moved past Andy Murray in the second round of Cincinnati.
He has had a brilliant season, including taking a couple of titles.
There was also his highly impressive return of reaching the semi-finals of Wimbledon.
Hurkacz looks to be gently easing back into top form.
Last week in Toronto he lost in the third round, going down 2-1 against Daniil Medvedev.
He has met Carreno-Busta once before.
That was a while ago, however, Hurkacz losing 2-1 on the clay in a match in Poland.
This is a tricky one again for Hurkacz as Pablo Carreno-Busta has been in terrific form lately.
He took the bronze medal at the Olympics (hard court) by beating Novak Djokovic in that medal match.
That was after landing the title on clay at Hamburg.
With his two wins so far in Cincinnati, he has won 10 of his last 11 matches. It’s been one defeat in his last six on the hard court.
This could be a tight match, but Hurkacz looks to be brewing up to something big once again.
Hubert Hurkacz to win at 4/5

Tennis Betting Picks Today: Angelique Kerber v Jelena Ostapenko
Tennis betting for today moves over to the WTA for Cincinnati for a look at an intriguing match.
For not having played a match since Wimbledon, Angelique Kerber has had a brilliant time in Ohio so far.
The German beat Maria Sakkari in the opening round, having been the underdog.
She was the underdog once again for the second round when she faced Elina Svitolina.
But against Kerber came through.
That’s a W12 L1 record in her last thirteen matches now, including a title at Bad Homburg.
Kerber moves into the position of the favourite for this one.
She may be worth going with as well as she faces Ostapenko who has been far less convincing recently.
Ostapekno had been on a three-match losing streak before this tournament. Two of those were on hard courts.
There have been two previous meetings between Kerber and Ostapenko, which stand at one win each.
We back Kerber to move ahead.
Kerber to win at 7/10

Tennis for Today: Matteo Berrettini v Felix Auger Aliassime
Today’s Tennis betting tips rounds off with what should be the highlight match of the day from the ATP.
Felix Auger-Aliassime came through a huge test in the second round.
He faced Karen Khachanov and had to fight back from dropping the opening set to get through that.
The road ahead doesn’t get any easier either.
Ahead of this event in Cincinnati, FAA was struggling a little for form.
He went through a spell of W1 L4 in five matches, which started with a loss at Wimbledon against Berrettini.
Italy’s Matteo Berrettini is back in action for the first time since his loss in the Final of Wimbledon in July.
He has lost only one of his last 13 matches and he kicked off his Cincinnati campaign with a 2-1 success over Albert Ramos-Vinolas.
As the eighth seed in Ohio, he received a first-round bye.
Given that was his first match in over a month, Berrettini will be delighted to have gotten that under his belt.
As Felix Auger-Aliassime had that long match in the previous round, it’s Berrettini that we side with.
Matteo Berrettini to win at 4/7
