Winston-Salem Open: Betting Outrights – Who Will Win?

South African Kevin Anderson has been confirmed to return in 2016 in order to defend his title. France's Richard Gasquet, though, will be the top seed for the 2016 edition.

Malek Jaziri managed to defeat the likes of Viktor Troicki, Thomaz Bellucci and Teimuraz Gabashvili here last year and lost to Anderson in the last four. He will play qualifier first up and then the winner out of Lennard Struff and Andreas Seppi.

We also like the chances of Yen-Hsun Lu and Mikhail Kukushkin at big prices, with Yen-Hsun being one of those tennis players who can come out of nowhere to make a final.

Our recommended bets are Millman at 80.00, Lu at 65.00 and Jaziri at 150.00. Place your bets today!
