Francisco Cerundolo threatens to reach the deep rounds in Madrid after barging into the round of 16 with a dominant straight-set victory over Luciano Darderie. Cerundolo, a quarterfinalist in Munich, improved to 12-4 on clay and earned an opportunity to secure another round-of-8 appearance in an ATP 1000 event. The Argentine opened at -240 on the moneyline at Caesars Sportsbook against a rising star from Belgium, Alexander Blockx.
Blockx advanced to the round-of-16 with a shocking 7-6, 6-3 win over Felix Auger-Aliassime, claiming his first top-10 win of his career. Blockx, who reached the third round at Monte Carlo and lost to eventual champion Ben Shelton in the second round at Munich, has compiled an impressive 8-2 record on clay. His recent success has bolstered him to achieve a new career high in the world ranking at No.69. Caesars Sportsbook lists Blockx at +175 moneyline, which makes the Belgian an attractive pick for high-risk, high-reward bettors.
