Shocking Developments Await Nadal and Djokovic at the ATP Masters Tournament in Rome 2024
In the bustling city of Rome, the ATP Masters tournament is gearing up for an exciting fortnight of tennis. However, one question lingers: what are the odds for Alexander Zverev to win the tournament in 2024?
A quick search through various betting platforms reveals an interesting pattern. While recent odds are readily available for Zverev's matches in upcoming tournaments such as Cincinnati and other events in 2025, there's a noticeable absence of odds for Rome 2024.
For instance, Zverev is currently listed at +140 (implied ~41.7% chance) to win the Western & Southern Open in August 2025. Yet, there's no mention of Rome 2024 in these odds. Instead, head-to-head and match predictions focus on Zverev's encounters with Carlos Alcaraz and others in 2025 events.
As we delve deeper into the ATP Masters Rome 2024, several intriguing matches have been scheduled. In the third round, Tomas Martin Etcheverry will face Hubert Hurkacz, with the latter having recently defeated Rafael Nadal in the second round.
Hubert Hurkacz's victory over Nadal marks a significant upset, leaving Nadal out of the competition early. This opens up the field for other contenders, with Zverev emerging as one of the big favourites.
In the round of 16, Zverev will face Nuno Borges from Portugal on Tuesday, May 14. Bookmakers see Zverev as the clear favourite in this match, offering odds of 1.17 for a win by Zverev and 5.00 for a win by Borges.
Meanwhile, Dominik Koepfer, the last remaining German player in the tournament, will face Tommy Paul from the USA in the third round. The odds for this match favour Tommy Paul, but Koepfer will undoubtedly put up a strong fight.
As the tournament progresses, the odds for the favourites to win the ATP tournament in Rome, according to gambling providers, are: Alexander Zverev (4.00), Stefanos Tsitsipas (4.50), Daniil Medvedev (8.50), Holger Rune (9.00), Karen Khachanov (11.00), Andrey Rublev (11.00), Grigor Dimitrov (15.00).
However, the odds for Zverev to win the ATP Rome tournament in 2024 remain unclear, and tennis enthusiasts will have to keep a close eye on official betting sites or ATP sources for updates on this front.
Meanwhile, an unfortunate incident occurred during the second round when Novak Djokovic was hit by a plastic bottle on the head after his win against Corentin Moutet. The incident, which was not a targeted attack, did not seem to affect Djokovic's participation in the third round on May 13, as he was treated by doctors and is expected to recover.
With many exciting matches and uncertainties ahead, the ATP Masters Rome 2024 is shaping up to be an unforgettable tournament. Stay tuned for more updates!
