ATP Madrid 2024 Tennis Betting Preview: Nadal returns after lengthy absence

After an extended period of injury issues he is unlikely to progress far beyond the first few rounds. His stellar record at this event (most recently winning in 2021) counts for little and is why he is priced far higher than most would have thought possible in previous years.

Fresh from another victory in Monte Carlo; the Greek star is one of the favourites in Madrid. A word of caution is that his general clay court record is significantly weaker than that of his attainment in Monte Carlo specifically. The conditions in Madrid after unlikely to favour him as much.

Definitely the stand out in the outright market for value seekers. Solid clay court form data and the slow Madrid courts should be perfect for him.

The data shows it’s slow (even for clay). This typically favours favourites over underdogs as the points as longer and more drawn out. Bear this in mind when considering which players to back this week at the Mutua Madrid Open.
