⭐ Editor's Pick
Matej Dodig's form is considerably more consistent: he wins more often, takes more games and posts better numbers on both serve and return. The match looks likely to be competitive without either player dominating, which supports taking the positive handicap for the Croatian, even as the underdog. The pick is Dodig - Games Handicap +4.5.
