Max Purcell vs Jordan Thompson – Match Predictions
Contents
With both players eyeing a place in the round of 64, these are our predictions and tips for this match
Jordan Thompson to Emerge Victorious
We would like to point out that Jordan Thompson has enjoyed a relatively better run of form than his compatriot in recent weeks; while Purcell is coming off back-to-back losses, Jordan Thompson has seven wins in his last eight matches, winning a Challenger title in the process. As a matter of fact, Thompson won six of his last seven matches in straight sets; he also has a positive head-to-head record against Max Purcell. Interestingly, these players have clashed four times in the past, and Jordan Thompson came out on top on three occasions. Bearing that in mind, we believe he’ll advance to the next round of this competition at the expense of Max Purcell.
Less Than 37 Total Games
We’ve already established that these players met on four previous occasions; it’s also important to point out that all of those meetings ended in straight sets. In the same vein, 13 of Max Purcell’s last 14 singles matches ended in straight sets, all of Jordan Thompson’s last seven matches too. Considering the over/under line for this fixture is set at 36.5, we are taking the under option.
