Joao Sousa vs Daniel Evans
- 2019 Wimbledon Championships (Outdoor/Grass)
- All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, London, UK
- Saturday 6th July
Joao Sousa News & Form
After beating the wild-card winner Paul Jubb in four sets in the opener, Joao Sousa stunned the 13th seed Marin Cilic in straight sets in the second round. Sousa played a really good match, making just seven unforced errors while saving all 12 break points. He won 83% of his 1st serve points and 63% of his 2nd serve points to fully deserve the place in the round of 32.
Sousa came to London as the World No. 69 and with a poor 11-19 record in 2019. Also, he lost six of his last eight matches prior to Wimbledon excluding the qualifying rounds in Halle. Sousa has a 13-19 record on the grass court in his career and has never made it through the round of 32 at Wimbledon.
Daniel Evans News & Form
The 29-year old British cruised through the first two rounds, defeating both Federico Delbonis and the 18th-seeded Nikoloz Basilashvili in straight sets. Evans put on a strong performance against Basilashvili in the second round, converting six of his 16 break-point opportunities while making only 15 unforced errors.
Daniel is the World No. 61 at the moment. He has a 10-8 record on the ATP Tour in 2019, reaching the championship match in Delray Beach where he lost to Radu Albot in three sets. Also, Daniel won a couple of Challengers on the grass court in June. Evans is 11-14 on grass in his career, and he already reached the round of 32 at Wimbledon in 2016.
Sousa vs Evans Head to Head
This will be the first-ever meeting between Joao Sousa and Daniel Evans.
Sousa vs Evans Betting Odds and Predictions
Daniel Evans feels more comfortable on the grass court than Joao Sousa, and the British is playing in a good form at the moment, so the bookmakers consider him as a firm favourite to reach the round of 16. Evans is available at 4/11 odds with William Hill, Sousa is a 21/10 underdog on the same platform. The price on Sousa to finish the job in straight sets is 9/5 with William Hill, and Sousa is set at 2/5 to win a set.
Still, this should be a tight battle, so Betfair offers a 38.5-game line with both over and under at 5/6 odds. Betway offers an alternative line at 39.5 games with the over at 10/11 and the under at 4/5.
Sousa vs Evans Betting Tip
Daniel Evans is a favourite here for a reason whereas he loves to play on the grass court which is not the case with Joao Sousa who prefers a clay court. On the other hand, Joao is a talented player with an excellent forehand, and I think he will win at least a set against Evans.
Hereof, betting on the over 3.5 sets at 4/7 odds with William Hill seems like a sure shot and I would stick with it even though the price is not attractive. If you’re looking for greater wages, consider taking the over 38.5 games at 5/6 odds with Betfair.
