Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Chile Open 2023
- Where: Club Deportivo Universidad Católica, Santiago, Chile
- When: February 27 to March 5, 2023
Favorites
Lorenzo Musetti (Odds +650)
Leading the pack is Italian rising star, Lorenzo Musetti, currently ranked number 18 in the world. This season, Musetti has shown remarkable improvement, cementing his place as one of the brightest talents of the next generation. The 2023 season has been a busy one for Musetti, who has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the rankings.
Kicking off his year at the United Cup, Musetti impressed, reaching the final after taking down formidable opponent, Stefanos Tsitsipas. Unfortunately, he was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to injury before the final match against Frances Tiafoe. Musetti’s journey in the Australian Open was cut short when he lost in the first round, but he quickly bounced back, impressing at the recent Buenos Aires tournament where he made it to the quarterfinals.
Francisco Cerundolo (Odds +700)
Ranked number 33 in the ATP, Argentinean player Francisco Cerundolo is set to make a strong showing at the Chile Open. Although he hails from Argentina, Cerundolo will be almost local in the neighboring country and is expected to be one of the favorites. Cerundolo is riding high on the back of an impressive 2022 season, where he achieved his highest career ranking to date.
Every tournament is significant for him, and he’ll be looking to continue his upward trajectory in the rankings. So far this year, Cerundolo has competed in the United Cup, reaching the opening round, before making a strong showing in the Australian Open. In the third round, he faced off against Felix Auger-Aliassime, ultimately losing the match. Following the Australian Open, Cerundolo participated in an ITF tournament, as well as the Cordoba and Buenos Aires tournaments, where he reached the quarterfinals in both events.
Diego Schwartzman (Odds +750)
Diego Schwartzman is sure to have a large following at the Chile Open. The highly-regarded player is ranked 38th in the world and is considered one of the longest-serving players from Rafael Nadal’s generation.
Despite leaving in the second round of tournaments in Auckland, the Australian Open, Cordoba, and Buenos Aires this year, Schwartzman remains an aggressive and powerful player who can still make a surprise impact in this edition of the tournament.
Sleeper Picks
Fabio Fognini (Odds +1100)
Italian tennis player Fabio Fognini is a formidable opponent who shouldn’t be underestimated. Known for his warrior-like mentality, Fognini fights tooth and nail for every point until the very end. However, he has had a less than positive start to the season.
Fognini has already participated in three tournaments this year: Auckland, the Australian Open, and Buenos Aires, but unfortunately exited in the first round of each event. Despite this, Fognini’s aggressive and fast style of play could still prove to be a challenge for his opponents at the Chile Open.
Sebastián Baez (Odds +1100)
Argentine tennis player Sebastián Baez is set to compete at the Chile Open. With an impressive rise in his level of play, Baez currently holds the 35th spot in the ATP rankings.
This player got an early start to the season, playing in Pune, India, where he exited in the second round. He then went on to compete in the Auckland and Australian Open tournaments, but was unfortunately eliminated in the first round of both events. However, Baez bounced back and competed in tournaments in his home country of Argentina, including Cordoba and Buenos Aires. Baez emerged as the champion of Cordoba, but was unfortunately eliminated in the first round of Buenos Aires.
Dark Horse
Albert Ramos-Vinolas (Odds +1600)
Rounding out the list of competitors is Albert Ramos-Vinolas, who currently holds the 47th spot in the ATP rankings. The Spaniard’s best performance so far this season came at the ATP 250 tournament in Cordoba, where he made it to the semifinals after defeating Dusan Lajovic and Joao Sousa, before ultimately falling to Federico Coria in two sets.
However, Ramos-Vinolas has had a rough start to the year, being eliminated in the first round of the Adelaide, Australian Open, and Buenos Aires tournaments. With this in mind, the Chile Open may prove to be a challenging event for him.
JefeBet Prediction
The upcoming 2023 Chile Open promises to be an exhilarating event for tennis enthusiasts and spectators alike, as they witness some of the biggest names in the sport battle it out on the court.
With so many talented players competing, the question on everyone’s mind is who will emerge as the ultimate victor? While there are certainly many strong contenders, one player stands out above the rest: Lorenzo Musetti. His dynamic playing style, which features lightning-fast footwork, a wide range of shot selections, and impeccable timing, makes him a formidable opponent for any challenger. Therefore, we at Jefebet believe that Musetti is the clear favorite to win the tournament.
