Feliciano Lopez vs John Isner Betting Tips

Feliciano Lopez wasted no minute after being sent to the rail from the French Open and played in all grass tournaments, including between England. He made the final in London after playing no fewer than five tiebreaks and unfortunately for him, he was defeated in the final act by Bulgarian Dimitrov. All three sets ended in a tiebreaker, with Lopez claiming the opening set but failing to consolidate his lead.

The next stop was Eastbourne and this time, Feliciano was far more effective, winning all the games in two sets, before prevailing in the final over Gasquet. The Frenchman won the opening set at tiebreak but had to settle for the second place, while his misery continued at Wimbledon where he was eliminated in the second act. Meanwhile, Lopez is going strong having won both matches so far in straight sets.

Feliciano prevented his opponents from breaking his served even once at Wimbledon this year but again had to play for tiebreaks to advance to the next stage. It would come as no surprise if this would happen again against John Isner who has one of the most powerful serves in the circuit.

The player who breaks his opponent's serve first is very likely to win the match, so there is no room for mistakes in this confrontation. The American didn't play a single match since being eliminated from Roland Garros, but he had no problems in winning twice at Wimbledon.

Key Facts

• In three head to head games, Isner won twice, but the most recent match dates from 2012
• Feliciano won the only grand slam match, at the Australian open, where he prevailed in five sets.

Feliciano Lopez vs John Isner Betting Prediction

Feliciano Lopez is clearly the player in better form and the fact that he won nine of the last 10 games played on grass speaks for itself. Isner is a formidable opponent capable of holding his served almost indefinitely, but if he gives away a break, he has very few weapons to claw his way back in the game. Odds of 1.65 for Lopez to prevail are not outstanding, but they clearly reflect the value between the two players and are worth taking.
