On Friday, the action in Eastbourne starts to get a little more serious. We've reached the semi-finals, and what an opportunity this is for 23-year-old Toby Samuel to reach a first ever ATP final. Up against Samuel will be Zizou Bergs, who has much more experience at this level. Then again, Samuel will have the support of the home crowd, and that cannot be underestimated.
At this point, it would be foolish to dismiss Toby Samuel based on his ranking. It's clear that the youngster is thriving on the grass courts of Eastbourne, and he'll soon be taking a jump in the rankings thanks to his performances over the last week. This is his toughest assignment yet, but after a strong effort against a top-50 player last time out, he can make sure that Bergs doesn't have it all his own way. With neither player recently losing in straight sets, betting on this to go the distance looks a solid move at odds of +130.

Our Zizou Bergs vs Toby Samuel Prediction
The early lines tell us that Zizou Bergs has a huge chance of making the final, and that is true. If you'd told the Belgian that he'd be in the sem-final against a player ranked outside of the top 100 back at the start of the tournament, then he would naturally have assumed that he'd make the final. However, these situations can do funny things to players, and let's face it, Toby Samuel has beaten some players who are not far off Bergs in terms of ability or standing in the game, so this is far from a foregone conclusion.
Given that neither player has many straight-set defeats on grass to their name in recent times, this could easily be a real battle. Bet on it to go all the way into a third set.
