The Swedish Open in Bastad is one of the players’ favourite tournaments on ATP Tour for years, so we saw some great matches over the last five days. The semifinals are set for Saturday afternoon, and the first clash will see the 5th seed Nicolas Jarry taking on the unseeded Federico Delbonis.
Nicolas Jarry – Federico Delbonis
- 2019 Bastad Swedish Open (Outdoor/Clay)
- Bastad Tennis Stadium, Bastad, Sweden
- Saturday 20th July
Nicolas Jarry News & Form
Jarry is enjoying a nice week in Bastad, beating all his previous three rivals in straight sets. He was impressive against Jeremy Chardy in the quarterfinal on Friday, allowing just five games to the Frenchman. Nicolas won 17 of Chardy’s 22 2nd serve points, converting all four break points.
Jarry came to Bastad as the World No. 64 and with a 14-15 record in 2019. Nicolas had some ups and downs this season, reaching the championship match in Geneva where he lost to Alexander Zverev in three sets. Jarry is 12-7 on clay this season and 31-23 in his career, while he’s 13-2 in the last 15 meetings with the left-handed players.
Federico Delbonis News & Form
Delbonis is on an eight-match winning streak, coming to Bastad off a perfect week in Perugia where he won the title on the Challenger Tour. However, Federico is just 13-14 on the ATP Tour this season. He reached the semis in Geneva two months ago, losing to Alexander Zverev in three sets, and he also made it to the last four in Cordoba back in February.
Delbonis opened with a three-set victory over the World No. 235 Bernabe Zapata Miralles, while he eliminated Pablo Cuevas and Joao Sousa in straight sets in the previous two rounds. Both Cuevas and Sousa are tough rivals to beat on the clay court, so Federico proved he’s in a great form at the moment.
Jarry – Delbonis Head to Head
This will be the second meeting between Nicolas Jarry and Federico Delbonis. Two years ago, Delbonis defeated Jarry in straight sets 6-4 7-5 at the Challenger in Prostejov on the clay court.
Betting Odds and Predictions: Jarry v Delbonis

Our Jarry vs Delbonis Bastad 2019 Swedish Open Betting Tip
Although Federico Delbonis is playing very well at the moment, Nicolas Jarry certainly stands a chance, especially if he serves at a high level. Delbonis has won eight straight matches and could struggle with fatigue, so Jarry should make a lot of damage with his strong groundstrokes.
I think Jarry will earn at least a set here, but 4/11 odds with Betway are not attractive. The line on the total games is a tricky one, and the over backers will probably need three sets in the total. Hereof, I would rather take Nicolas Jarry to win the match at 11/10 with Bet365.
