Bet Of The Day July 19 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Stricker has won five of his last six matches
Kecmanovic has lost nine of his last 12 matches
Stricker beat Fils in straight sets in his Gstaad R1
Kecmanovic’s last four defeats have been in straight sets
Kecmanovic had a bye in R1, so no match practice in these conditions

We’re off to ATP Gstaad for today’s best bet as Dominic Stricker and Miomir Kecmanovic square off for a spot in the quarter-finals.

Kecmanovic has been in terrible form over the last few months, so we’re happy to fade the Serbian here and back Stricker to reach the last eight.

Kecmanovic comes into this clash having lost nine of his last 12 matches, with his last four defeats occurring in straight sets.

Down on confidence and struggling on tour, Kecmanovic also look out of shape, so question marks over his fitness too.

In his last match, Kecmanovic lost in straight sets against Diego Schwartzman – someone playing so bad he recently dropped out of the top 100.

In short, Kecmanovic is playing nowhere near his ranking of No. 44 and closer to someone barely in the top 200.

On the other hand, Stricker is enjoying a steady rise on tour and is on the cusp of a top 100 debut at just 20 years of age.

The Swiss youngster has a big game and looks destined for a very solid career. Stricker has won five of his last six matches after qualifying and winning a round at Wimbledon, while he beat fellow rising star Arthur Fils in straight sets in the opening round.

Stricker will have the home crowd support in the feature match in Gstaad, so confident he can get the job done against an out-of-form opponent.
