And yes, make no mistake. Every year, the Italian puts together one, two, even three big singles tournaments where he plays on fire. Enough to topple Diallo?

Argh, not easy on paper. The Canadian already had a good level in Hong Kong, it’s just that he hasn’t been able to maintain it throughout an entire match for now. That’s where the Italian can come in. Thanks to his quality of serve, he can push Diallo into tie-breaks and go for it boldly with his backhand slice and big forehands. A dangerous match for us bettors, because either Diallo deals with the danger with the efficiency we know from him, or he gets picked off on the fly and then anything can happen. So for me, this is a match to bet live. I’m sharing my best pre-match bet with you, but I don’t think I’ll take it.
