In the 1/8 finals of the challenger in Vancouver, Canadian Alexis Galarno will play against Fernando Verdasco from Spain.
Alexis Galarno
The 23-year-old representative of Canada started at the home tournament on the night of the sixteenth to the seventeenth. In the 1/16 finals, Galarno played against Yoshihito Nishioka from Japan. It seemed that Alexis had little chance of success in that match, but the opponent's condition was far from the best for the Canadian. Galarno lost the first set with a score of 5:7, but Alexis won the second game with a score of 6:4. After that, Nishioka refused to continue the fight due to injury. But even in two sets, the tennis players spent two and a half hours on the court.
Fernando Verdasco
The 38-year-old representative of Spain, in turn, started the challenger in Canada on the evening of the sixteenth. In the 1/16 finals, Verdasco met our expectations and beat Juan Pablo Fikovic from Argentina in two sets - 6:3; 6:4. The tennis players spent an hour and a half on the court.
Forecast
In this match, Fernando Verdasco is considered a small favorite among bookmakers. It will certainly not be easy for the Spaniard against Galarno, but due to the experience of Fernando, it is quite possible to beat an average opponent, and therefore here we suggest you bet on Verdasco.
