Tennis tips today – Matches today from 15.10.
It’s off to the hall for the tennis stars! Weather chaos is no longer a hindrance to our tournament planning. There will be no delays, but no exciting matches on Tuesday. The stars will play the 250s in Stockholm and Antwerp.
I’m particularly focusing on the tournament in the Swedish capital. Stan Wawrinka and Cameron Norrie are among those in action there on Tuesday. Although Wawrinka failed early on in Shanghai, he played two strong matches. In the late fall of his career, he wants to show off once again
In Stockholm, he doesn’t have an easy opening opponent in Brandon Nakashima. Norrie has dropped a few places in the world rankings due to injury, but has now returned to the court at the Challenger in Roanne after a three-month break.
He starts against Miomir Kecmanovic in round one. Only four players are seeded and will start in round two on Wednesday at the earliest: Andrey Rublev, Casper Ruud, Grigor Dimitrov and Tommy Paul. In today’s tennis tips, we first look at the openers in Stockholm and Antwerp.
Tennis tips today – 15.10.2024
Wawrinka, Norrie – tennis names that fans have definitely heard before. Just like Borg. Björn Borg is not only Sweden’s most successful player in history, but also one of the best ever to stand on the court.
His career has been over for more than 30 years. His son, Leo, is now active. He receives wildcards for the Swedish 250s tournaments in Bastad and Stockholm due to his family history. The Borg name continues to fill the rankings, even if Leo is only to be found outside the top 500.
The showdown came in the summer when he had to play Rafael Nadal. We’ve only ever seen Nadal against Borg on the games console. I gave you a successful bet on this famous match back then. Of course I want to build on that today.
This time, Borg is up against Alexandre Muller. I’d say he’s got a reasonably good draw. But even against the Frenchman, who has beaten the top seed Rublev this year, among others, he is the clear outsider with the traditional betting provider Oddset. Let’s take a look at the individual match analyses!
Tennis tips today: Where are the matches on 15.10.
You have several options to watch the matches from Stockholm and Antwerp. The broadcasting rights are held by Sky Sport Tennis. My insider tip is to watch the matches at Bet365 or Winamax. With these betting providers, you not only get tax-free odds, but also have access to live streams of all the matches.
Tennis tips today 15.10.: Wawrinka – Nakashima (12:00)
“Stan the Man” has to play Nakashima in the first round of Stockholm, for the third time in his career. He won the first two matches against the American, in Basel in 2022 and in Cincinnati in August 2023. Both times it went to the third set. Although Wawrinka was eliminated early in Shanghai, he also impressed against Cobolli after beating Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.
Due to a fatal mistake by the chair umpire, the early break only came in the third set, instead of 15:15 a 0:30 was called, no one noticed it until the end of the match. Nakashima travels with three defeats from the last four games, but still as the clear favorite according to the odds.
Our expert tip: Set win Wawrinka
Tennis betting today 15.10.: Borg – Muller (19:20)
In 250s tournaments he is only involved in the main draw if he gets a wildcard, otherwise Borg is only involved in smaller tournaments. Last year, he faced Laszlo Djere and went down to defeat in two sets. However, he had already managed to take a set off Paul the year before. He also celebrated a victory against Elias Ymer in Bastad.
He won a singles match for Sweden in the Davis Cup in mid-September and has won two smaller tournaments. However, Muller hasn’t shown a bad side recently in Shanghai, he plays aggressively and has a good return. I expect a clear difference in class.
Our expert tip: 2:0 Muller & no tiebreak
Tennis bets today 15.10.: Norrie – Kecmanovic (14:20)
Not only Borg has played his last major tournament, but also Norrie, who was then slowed down by injury. He returned to action last week at the Challenger in Roanne, where he reached the quarter-finals. In Stockholm he starts against Kecmanovic, who is currently looking for form.
I expect a match in which both players are not yet in perfect rhythm and which will drag on a little. Norrie leads the direct duel 3:0, but only the duel in Paris 2022 was over quickly. Each time it was played on fast surfaces.
Our expert tip: Over 21.5 games
Tennis betting today 15.10.: Lehecka – Munar (12:00)
Finally, I have a match from Antwerp for you. Jiri Lehecka against Jaume Munar, I chose this duel because we have a direct duel from just a week ago. Lehecka is the better man on court in these fast hard court conditions.
He held his own in two sets in Shanghai. Munar has struggled indoors in particular so far in his career and has a win rate of a meagre 29.5 percent. After the US Open, the Spaniard initially preferred clay again, only returning to hard court in Shanghai. Against the Czech number one with his strong serve, however, he is likely to come unstuck in Belgium.
Our expert tip: Set 1 & Match Lehecka
