It’s going to be a tense first meeting when Valentin Royer and Eliot Spizzirri clash in the final qualifying round of the ATP 250 at Hangzhou. And with very little to separate the two players form-wise, punters will definitely be scratching their heads for a sharp pick here. But we might’ve cracked this one, and you can find our best bet in the Valentin Royer vs Eliot Spizzirri match prediction below.

We’re backing the American to take a set here. Spizzirri has won five of his last eight singles, but more interestingly, he took a set in all three losses. What’s more, Spizzirri’s form on hardcourt has been nothing short of impressive, with 11 wins in his last 16, while winning at least one set in 14 of those games.

Royer, who’s the favourite, might come out on top but not unscathed. Royer has lost only three of his last eight, but dropped a set in five of those games. And that’s following a much broader pattern, which has seen Royer drop at least one set in 19 of his last 27 games.​

While Royer did manage a straight set in his first qualifying round, it’s good to point out that he was faced against the 1138th-ranked Charles Chen with 1.06 odds to win. Meanwhile, Spizzirri tested his mettle against an equal opponent in the form of Chun-Hsin Tseng, and still emerged victorious in three sets.
