Tennis Betting Tips: Norrie can put his best foot forward

It is a busy week on both the ATP and WTA Tour, with five tournaments taking place as the men travel to Europe to compete in Almaty, Antwerp and Stockholm and the women remain in Asia to duel in Ningbo and Osaka. 

The majority of leading lights are taking a well-earned break, but there is still plenty of quality on show, with Cameron Norrie flying the flag for Britain in Stockholm and Katie Boulter representing the GB challenge in Ningbo. To embrace Tuesday’s action we have picked out our three best tennis betting tips and there is plenty for punters to look forward to. 

Cameron Norrie to beat Miomir Kecmanovic @ 10/11 

Norrie has had a big drop-off in the last few seasons, slipping from world number eight to world number 52, but there have been clear signs of a rejuvenation in recent weeks. 

The British star was a quarter-finalist in a strong Challenger event in France last week and he should be able to build on that on the ATP Tour in Stockholm, where Miomir Kecmanovic looks there for the taking. 

The Serb, who is three places below Norrie in the world rankings, has lost eight of his last 11 completed matches and all three previous meetings with the Briton have resulted in defeat. 

Norrie has made the fourth round of the Australian Open and the third round of Wimbledon - where he defeated compatriot Jack Draper - this season and if he can rediscover that form then he should successfully justify favouritism. 

Christopher O'Connell to beat Gabriel Diallo @ 10/11 

Australia ace Christopher O'Connell has had a good time of things of late, with a title triumph in Guangzhou Challenger event in the middle of September sparking an upturn in form on the ATP Tour. 

O'Connell took world number 18 Lorenzo Musetti to a deciding set in the last-16 in Chengdu on the back of that victory, before making the same stage in Tokyo, where he overcame Otto Virtanen, Taro Daniel and Tomas Martin Etcheverry, before bumping into an in-form Alex Michelsen. 

Even in Shanghai last time out, the Australian was edged out 7-6 7-6 by former Wimbledon runner-up Matteo Berrettini and that recent form is much stronger than his opening opponent in Almaty, Gabriel Diallo, has been able to produce. 

The Canadian youngster is a player of immense potential, but the world number 118 has done most of his winning on the Challenger Tour, so may find this test tougher than he is used to.

Erika Andreeva to beat Diane Parry @ 8/11 

Having seen younger sister Mirra Andreeva shine on the WTA Tour, Erika is starting to have some success of her own and the Russian can see off Diane Parry in Osaka. 

Andreeva defeated her world number 19 sister in Wuhan last week, having earlier overcame Dayana Yastremska, so she should be full of confidence having won all three previous rivalries with Parry in straight sets. 

The French 22-year-old is a top talent, but she has lost seven of her last 11 matches and may not be in good enough form to halt Andreeva's recent momentum.
