2020 ATP Delray Beach Open Tennis – Semi-Finals Tips and Betting Preview

It is semi-final day in the Delray Beach Open on Saturday with four men looking to make it through to battle it out for the title in Florida on Sunday, as we head towards the conclusion of the latest ATP 250 event.

After a week of shocks and surprises, we are left with three seeded players and one rising star to compete in the semi-finals, one of which takes place in the day session and the other in the night schedule.

Day Session

Ugo Humbert vs Yoshihito Nishioka

The opening semi-final sees two youngsters who are on top of their game at the present time going at it when the French player Ugo Humbert takes on a Japanese man who has looked pretty good this week in Yoshihito Nishioka.

Sometimes you get semi-finals where one player has played discernibly better than the other but that certainly is not the case here, with both men having played well and deserve their spots in the last four. I think we might get something of a tight three set clash here and one or two moments or incidents could decide it. That might make Nishioka a spot of value but I’ve taken Humbert on enough this week without joy so I’ll sit this first semi out.

Night Session

Reilly Opelka vs Milos Raonic

The second semi-final is unlikely to contain too many rallies as Reilly Opelka takes on Milos Raonic in what is a semi-final between the two leading ranked players left in the tournament and in which the winner here will be favourite to lift the title on Sunday.

These two have only met once, which was at Wimbledon last year, and it will come as no surprise that the first set went to a tiebreak before Opelka collapsed. He is in a much better state now though so I’m not expecting to see a collapse here, but I am expecting to see tiebreaks. Raonic would have an edge in what rallies we do see but I don’t see too many of them given the pace of the serves in play. I’m actually surprised we are getting a 25.5 total games line carrot dangled here. If this is a straight sets win for one of them there is every chance it will be 76 76. If it goes to a third we’ll be into the well into the 30s for games when it ends. I’ll take the over.
