ATP Cincinnati picks: Best bets for Rafael Nadal vs. Borna Coric (New York Post)

Rafael Nadal returns from an abdomen injury to face Borna Coric. See the betting odds, prediction, and tennis picks for this crucial Wednesday battle.

Tennis Abstract gives Coric a 19.9% chance of upsetting Nadal, and when you convert that to a two-way moneyline, you get +402, so there’s certainly some value in sprinkling some lunch money on Coric to pull off the stunner. Besides his strong career numbers against Nadal, Coric backers can also feel confident that Nadal won’t be at the peak of his powers in his first competitive match after the break. Those matches all came between 2014 and 2017, so perhaps it’s not all that relevant, but it’s better than the alternative. At this point in his career, Nadal is used to working his way back from long layoffs, whether due to injury or just managing his schedule. AZ, CO, IA, IL, IN, LA, MI, NJ, NY, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY only. On the other side is underdog Borna Coric, an immensely talented 25-year-old who has spent most of the last two seasons battling injuries.
