Matches tend to be over quick. They are best three-out-of five sets. Games are played up to 11, although a player must win by a minimum of two points to ultimately gain the victory. Service changes hands every two points.
There’s also plenty of live betting action ongoing, so tracking a player who is strong on his service can provide a fast payday.
Petrov-Nemashkalo All About Streaks
When Alexander Petrov and Vladimir Nemashkalo look across the net at each other, it’s almost a certainty that one of them will be on a roll. Currently, that player is Petrov.
Petrov has won his last five matches from Nemashkalo, and he’s done so in convincing fashion . Three of those five victories were sweeps. He’s lost just one of his last 14 games against Nemashkalo.

Currently, Nemashkalo is struggling with his form. He’s lost six matches in a row. Nemashkalo is also 1-7 in his last eight and 2-13 over his last 15 matches.
Meanwhile, Petrov is a stellar 11-4 through his last 15 matches, a stretch that includes his five-match win streak against Nemashkalo.
Pick: Aleksandr Petrov (-200).
Gribkov Worth A Go
Yurii Merkushkin is struggling. He’s 2-5 over his last seven matches. On the other hand, he’s also 2-2 through his last four matches, so perhaps he’s turning a corner.
Alexander Gribkov is treading water. He’s gone 5-5 through his last 10 matches.
