Canadian open ATP tomorrow - Wed, July 30 in Toronto
FAA – 190 over F. Marozsan
F. Marozsan ATP #56 won yesterday ........... 2 and 2 against H. Dellien a Bolivian clay courter and last week he went 1-1 at Washinton D.C. He's 5W - 5L in his last 10 matches on grass and hard courts.
Felix Auger Aliassime ATP #28 - recently went 6-4 in grass tourneys and last week went 2-1 on hard court and beat R. Bautista-Agut 6-3 7-6 then beat S. Tsitsipas in 2 sets before losing to F. Cobolli 10-8 in a tiebreaker, however he & his Canadian team still won the Hopman Cup with Bianaca Andressca in Bari Italy.
Last year (July 2024) FAA when he played at home in Montreal at the Canadian Open, he lost in the first round……. Embarrassingly. Mostly because he had just played 6 matches in less than a week at the July 2024 Paris Olympics.
He had only 3 days rest including travelling, between his 1 round match in Montreal last year and the Olympics.
He lost easily to F. Cobolli an Italian ranked #17 at the time last year, by the score of 3 and 2
In the Olympics last year, he played C. Alcaraz to get to the finals for the gold medal and lost in that big match. He then lost to Lorenzo Musseti for the bronze medal in a tough physical 3 setter on clay 6-3 in the 3 set.
By the time he got back home to Canada switching from clay at the French Open to grass at Wimbledon to clay at the Olympics to hard courts in Montreal with just 3 days rest he was mentally, physically and emotionally drained with nothing in the tank. He was basically cooked.
This year he comes into his home country’s national tourney fresh, healthy and fit, just off a Hopman cup victory on hard courts.
This year he has had time to adjust and acclimate, not like last year switching from the different surfaces with very little preparation time.
This year he’s mentally rejuvenated and in a good head space to compete & wanting to perform well for once on home soil.
So, I see him winning this match. I don’t know by how many games or how many sets, I'm sure that Marozsan will be competitive and put up resistance, however I know & feel that FAA will be willing to fight, grind and persevere to get a win for himself, his family and all his Canadian friends.
What I am looking for is trying to find a match to wager on where I know the player I pick is fully motivated, engaged and willing to grind, fight and persevere.
It does not mean that the player will win, however I feel better in a loss when I know that I wagered on a player that was mentally and physically ready to compete and in FAA tomorrow I think that I will get that.
It’s heavy juice but I am laying the -190 at bookmaker on Felix for a big play for me.
