Borna Coric vs. Maxime Cressy Betting Analysis
Borna Coric Facts To Know
World number 23 Borna Coric will be the heavy favorite to progress through to the last four in the Open Sud de France odds on Friday. The 26-year-old didn’t encounter any issues in the previous round, as he managed to dispatch Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets. The second of those sets was a little trickier, but the Croatian still secured a 6-3, 7-5 win.
Coric was dominant on his serve, as he smashed down ten aces and recorded just a single double fault. He was also effective with his first serve, winning 79% of the points.
Meanwhile, he also won 77% of the points on his second serve. Coric was handed five break-point opportunities in the game, and he managed to convert on two occasions.
The Croatian should come into the latter stages of the tournament in good confidence, as he became the lowest-ranked player to win a Masters 1000 event in late 2022.
That success came at the Cincinnati Masters, as he claimed a straight sets win over subsequent Australian Open finalists Stefanos Tsitsipas. However, he was unable to follow up, as he was eliminated in the opening round at the Grand Slam Down Under.
Maxime Cressy Facts To Know
Maxime Cressy has already been in eye-catching form in France throughout this tournament, as very few would have expected the American to reach this stage.
He entered the competition in the round of 32, where he secured a dominant straight-sets win over Antoine Bellier on Tuesday. Cressey produced another shock win in the previous round as he eliminated seventh-seed Emil Ruusuvuori.
It was the manner of that success that saw tennis fans stand up and take note as he breezed past his Finnish opponent in straight sets. Cressy scored 15 aces, but he will likely need to keep double faults to a minimum on Friday, as he made seven in Thursday’s round of 16 clash.
The American won a staggering 90% of the points on his first serve, but that average was down to just 54% on the second serve.
In truth, he will likely need a more rounded performance on Friday if he will be among the winning tennis predictions to reach the final four.
Cressy is currently ranked 51st in the world, with his best career ranking coming last year as he reached a peak position of 31st. Last year, he reached three finals in the 250 Series, with his only victory coming on the grass surface at the Hall of Fame Open. His latest appearance in a final saw him beaten by Rafael Nadal in the Melbourne Summer Set 1 in January 2021.

Borna Coric vs. Maxime Cressy Betting Prediction
Both of these players make serious cases to reach the final four of the tournament this weekend. However, we struggle to see Cressy making the latter stages if he continues to make as many unforced errors as he did in the previous round.
The Borna Coric vs Maxime Cressy betting would suggest that three sets will be needed on Friday, and we could see that being the case. But, the preference is for Coric to get the victory and edge through to the semi-finals.
Pick: Borna Coric to win 2-1 (+260)
