Thursday Tennis Best Bet: ATP Challenger Quimper, Arthur Fils vs Gijs Brouwer

Thursday Tennis Best Bet: ATP Challenger Quimper, Arthur Fils vs Gijs Brouwer

Arthur Fils vs Gijs Brouwer Best Bet: Thursday, January 26th

No good on the Karolina Pliskova pick to cover the 2.5-game handicap, as Magda Linette proved to be too strong. Onto Thursday, where there won’t be any women’s matches from the main tour, as the men’s semifinals take centre stage.

So, we’ll look to the ATP Challenger Tour for our second Thursday selection. It’s the matchup featuring Arthur Fils and Gijs Brouwer in Quimper.

Arthur Fils vs Gijs Brouwer Preview

January 26th, 11:30 (UK Time)

This could be a fun matchup between two strong servers in Quimper on Thursday morning.

Fils and Brouwer have both managed to post a hold rate of over 86% on the young 2023 season, and with neither possessing the most sturdy backhand in the world, the lefty versus righty dynamic in this one could make this one a rather serve-oriented affair.

Fils has yet to lose this season, capturing the crown at the second Oeiras Challenger (though his path to victory wasn’t the most impressive, especially considering his win in the final came against a surely-fatiguing Joris de Loore) – his maiden Challenger title.

Brouwer struggled to finish his 2022, and had an odd loss against Jurij Rodionov (he actually won more games in the match, but dropped a pair of tiebreaks) to open his season. Being back on European indoor courts, however, seems to have served him well, as he came back from 3-6 down to beat an experienced Vasek Pospisil, whose game plays very well in quicker conditions.

Considering Fils’ game can get loose at times, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one go the distance in a rather tight match.


Arthur Fils vs Gijs Brouwer Best Bet

With two strong servers, and the younger, more talented player in the Frenchman also being a tad more erratic in his game play, I’m happy to back both men to hold serve regularly enough to push this game total over the 22.5 on offer.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see Fils take over for a stretch, but also struggle and find himself down a break at some point either. I have this total in quicker conditions set closer to the 23.5-game mark.

  • Selection: Over 22.5 Games
  • Best Odds: 1.88 (Pinnacle)
  • Stakes: 3/10

Odds as at 3:00 am on January 26th, 2022. Odds may now differ.
