Rafael Nadal – Stats and Form

Nadal was at his best in the recent game against Khachanov and he just required a straight set victory in order to reach the quarter-finals. After having struggled with a few Grand Slam tournaments earlier in the campaign, the Spaniard seems to be at his best once again. He was able to win the US Open 2017 by overcoming Kevin Anderson. He is now targeting success at the China Open for the first time since 2005. Even then, China Open betting tips are in favour of the Spaniard since he has been able to get on form a great moment. He has been the runner-up at this event in two out of the last four.

John Isner – Stats and Form

John Isner has been able to go through a reasonable success in the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 in 2017. After a disappointing 2016 in which he failed to make it beyond the quarter-finals of all but one tournament, the 32-year-old has already made it to the semi-finals of the Rome Masters and Cincinnati Masters. China Open betting is aware that he has never been able to win an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title nor the China Open. He has also finished as the runner-up in three of the ATP World Tour 500 Series, as his only successes has so far come in the 250 series.

Beijing ATP Betting Tips

Isner is yet to drop a set in the 2017 China Open, but that statistic alone is not putting the China Open betting odds in his favour. The 32-year-old has a poor record when it comes to matches against Rafael Nadal after losing six out of the seven meetings. Even though he was able to reverse this record with a 7-5, 7-6 (1) victory at Prague back in September, this is unlikely to help him get something out of this match. Nadal is clearly back to his best and was able to overpower his opponent in the recent second round game. He was also able to secure a second round victory in the competition. Beijing ATP odds for backing Isner are predictably long with the American placed at a high price for victory. Even at these odds, we do not see value in going with the selection. Isner’s poor record coupled with Nadal finding form in the last few months are factors to go with available for the game. The Beijing ATP betting tips place Nadal is the overwhelming favourite for this game and he can be backed at a decent price.

The H2H shows Nadal leading Isner 6-0. The stark difference in form means that it is very likely to see a straight 2-1 win for Nadal here, yet again. Why? Their last H2H was at the 2015 Rome Masters and ended 6-4, 6-4. However, Nadal played three sets in 13 of his last 15 matches. On the same note, Isner's match table is also dominated by three sets. We back our decision with the fact that is very likely to see this same pattern not being broken and these tennis betting odds offer plenty of value.
