Bet Of The Day June 7 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Kudla is 26-26 on grass at tour-level

Lestienne has never won a match on grass at tour-level
Lestienne has only won four matches on grass at Challenger level

We’re off to the Surbiton Challenger for today’s best bet as Denis Kudla and Constant Lestienne square off for a spot in the quarter-finals.

We’re opting to head away from the bright lights of Roland Garros and focus on the start of the grass season, with this Challenger tournament in Surbiton.

Good chance for value on grass, especially in Challenger tournament, and we’re loving Kudla to cover a small -2.5 games handicap.

Kudla really should be a bigger favourite and have a larger games handicap to cover – the American is a genuine grass court specialist and loves this time of the season.

On the main tour, Kudla is 26-26 on grass – which is exceptional for someone currently ranked No. 139 in the world. To give context, Kudla is 6-17 on clay and 39-86 on hardcourt.

Down at Challenger level (which this tournament is), Kudla is a dominant 29-11 for a winning percentage of 71 (compared to 63 per cent on hard and 48 on clay).

Kudla was impressive in his opening round, taking out an in-form Christopher O’Connell in three sets.

This looms as a great chance for Kudla to advance to the last eight – Lestienne has never won a match on grass at tour-level and only four in his career at Challenger level.

Lestienne has been in awful form for the bulk of 2023 too – the Frenchman was on a nine-match losing streak heading into this tournament before edging the World No. 365 in the opening round 7-5 in the decider.

Kudla is the far superior grass courter and we’re confident he can cover the -2.5 games line on his way to victory tonight.
