On Friday, during the early hours for stateside viewers, there's a rather intriguing match taking place at the United Cup in Australia. Flavio Cobolli and Tomas Machac will clash for the first time since 2022. Both players arrive off the back of very pleasing wins against higher-ranked players last time out, so this is far from an easy match to call, though looking at the early lines, I cannot help but think that the Italian competitor is a little generously priced to get the job done.

Flavio Cobolli - Tomas Machac Key Points

  1. Flavio Cobolli comes here having beaten a higher-ranked player last time out.
  2. Flavio Cobolli, in the last round, beat a player ranked comfortably higher than Tomas Machac.

  4. Tomas Machac has lost two of his three recent matches against lower-ranked players.

Our Flavio Cobolli vs Tomas Machac Prediction

Tomas Machac is the higher ranked player here, but he's not ranked much higher than Cobolli, who has improved quite a lot over the last year or so. Moreover, the Italian arrives off the back of a confidence-boosting win against a player ranked above Machac last time out. Listen, am I saying that the Italian definitely wins this match? Absolutely not, but I am saying that he probably deserves a bit more respect and is thus available at value odds. After all, Machac hasn't exactly been consistent on hard courts of late, while he's lost two of his three recent matches against players ranked below him. Our Pick: Flavio Cobolli to Win.
