Jozef Kovalik VS Jeremy Chardy BETTING TIPS (01-05-2017)
PREVIEW & TIPS FOR Jozef Kovalik VS Jeremy Chardy
The Munich ATP tournament is quite small, just 250 points (like the rest of the week – Estoril and Istanbul), and here there have generally been tennis players who have not so far excelled in the clay season and need Performance + standing matches to enter an upward trend. But the picture does not look very bad, the attraction being Monfils (the one who comes back after a knee injury) and Alexander Zverev, the miracle kid of the Germans. Plus Philipp Kohlschreiber, three times winner here, the last title coming even last year after a final with Thiem (still has a final in 2015, but lost to Murray).
The surface to be played is slag, and we are currently in the first round.
Jozef Kovalik News
Is a 24-year-old Slovakian, currently ranked at 148 ATP, and with the possibility to climb, although his season is disappointing, although he also had some glimpses.
For example, Jozef has a quarter-final in the very first tournament of the year, in Chennai, losing to Medvedev, and a semifinal on clay at Sophia Antipolis, losing to Paire.
If I report only to his parties on this surface, Kovalik has had quite a productive tangle in South America, winning with some classical “sailors” like Sorgi, Baena or Andrej Martin. And defeats, especially with Delbonis, also came amid a rather solid game.
However, his form has fallen since then, even though, as I said before, he has a semifinal in France at Sophia Antipolis. But there, though he passed the Baby, Duckhee Lee and Guillermo Garcia Lopez, he lost every set, being very inconstant during a game. And in the penultimate act, Paire dominated him, although the match was not as easy as the score shows.
Then Barletta lost to 1-6 1-6 with Filip Krajinovic, although I do not know if I can take this game as a landmark, Kovalik being tired and motivated, hence some terrible statistics. But the Slovak did not return to Monte Carlo, being eliminated in qualifying by Olivo after a 6-1 3-6 2-6.
Here, again, he again challenged qualifications:
– 6-3 6-4 with Yannick Maden, winning 79% balls with first service, 53% with second, giving 2 chances to break
– 7-5 6-3 with Jeremy Jahn, winning 61% balls with the first service, 56% with the second one, giving 4 chances to break (1 save)
Jozef Kovalik VS Jeremy Chardy STATS
It is the first direct match between the two.
Although Jeremy Chardy has some problems, I think he can impose here, being a favorite both for me and betting houses. He comes after a back injury, which worries me quite a bit, but Barcelona, now a week, has shown a fairly strong tennis despite this. And I think if he was more efficient, he could even win the game with Edmund. Kovalik has an advantage here, that he has already accommodated with all the conditions, coming after two qualifying victories. And even if he did not lose the set, he had moments when he was vulnerable.
Jeremy Chardy News
Is a very valuable tennis player, but the Frenchman does not come after the best time, thus reaching the 70th ATP. However, it does not seem to me “past”, because she is only 30 years old, and still can achieve performance.
As I said, his season is very weak, having three quarters of the final: in Auckland, losing to Sock in Montpellier, where he was defeated by Alexander Zverev and the Irving challenger, eliminated by Rublev Excellent form).
He has not passed the tournament 2 over the previous 3 tournaments, but I do not think he has developed poorly
Marakech went past Jaziri (hard enough) to be eliminated by Philipp Kohlschreiber after a match he could not make claims despite the winning set. Then at Monte Carlo he made a good match with Coric, eliminating him after a 7-6 3-6 6-3, but then he was defeated by 3-6 0-6 by Cilic. Immediately after this match, he said he felt great back pain, and could not serve at all, thus losing the set to zero.
He returned to Barcelona, where he lost 3-6 4-6 with Edmund, but after a very balanced match, his problem was that he missed all 5 balls.
Jeremy also played in the Davis Cup on slag, where he passed the same Edmund and Evans without losing the set.
