FAQ: Tennis, Indoor Men’s ATP Tournament, Paris. Recommended stake (bankroll): 2%.
Justification: Grigor Dimitrov (9.) “overtimed” a bit in Paris yesterday, because he only managed to advance in a nearly ~ 3-hour match. However, the Bulgarian did not play badly, his opponent was simply extra good. But after this, he will certainly try to close his next match faster today, as he will need to save his energy for the rest of the tournament. He clearly came here to the French capital for the championship title, as only with that could he collect enough world ranking points to get to the ATP Finals. Arthur Rinderknech (60.), who only started with a wildcard, had much less motivation: to turn his approximately 0 season balance (35 W – 33 L) into positive. He was even able to win 2 matches, because one of his opponents was injured, and the other made ~ 50 unforced errors in 2 sets … So, I think he can already be quite satisfied with this lucky march, he could hardly have expected more victories in advance. Dimitrov, however, needs the success more and as smoothly as possible. He already beat Rinderknech once indoors this year with a clear 2-0.
