The National Bank Open quarterfinals have arrived in both Toronto and Montreal, with plenty of usual suspects and a few less-expected players. Let’s go over some of the tennis betting odds and expert picks for Friday, Aug. 13.
Tennis Odds & Betting Picks: National Bank Open
Karolina Pliskova (-200, SugarHouse)
Opponent: Sara Sorribes Tormo
The strong form of Sara Sorribes Tormo on hardcourts has been an absolute surprise to many. Before this year she was just a few matches over .500 for her career on the surface. Her extremely defensive style does not usually translate to success, but she has made it work by making no mistakes. Fortunately for Karolina Pliskova, this has kept Sorribes Tormo’s moneyline odds very friendly for tennis betting. Pliskova had been mediocre for the last season and change until she reached the Wimbledon final. Since her defeat there, she has won four of five matches on hardcourt and has dropped only one set in those wins. With a game predicated on power, she over 370 career wins on fast courts.
These two have met once (2017), with Pliskova sweeping Sorribes Tormo in Australia. If Sorribes Tormo can keep up with her shot speed, this match could get to three sets, but the style and historical success of Pliskova should overcome.
Parlay Picks
Reilly Opelka (+125), Camila Giorgi (+1.5 Games), Ons Jabeur (-162)
