Félix Auger-Aliassime vs. Roman Safiullin: A Tale of Aces and Anxiety
Félix Auger-Aliassime (25th seed, 74% first-serve points in his last win) faces Roman Safiullin (94th-ranked, 0-2 against Top 25 players this year) in a match where the odds scream “Félix, baby!” DraftKings and BetMGM have Auger-Aliassime as a 1.33/1.35 favorite (implied probability: ~75-77%), while Safiullin’s 3.25/3.5 line suggests bookmakers think he’s a 28-31% shot to pull off the shocker.
Key Stats & Props to Watch:
- Serve Dominance: Auger-Aliassime served 10 aces in his last match. BetOnline.ag has “Over 38.5 total games” at even odds—expect a tight set or two.
- Spread Action: Auger-Aliassime is -4.5 sets on most boards. If you’re feeling spicy, back him to cover, but don’t be surprised if Safiullin forces a third set (he’s 5-2 in third-set wins this year).
- Prop Bet Joke: Will Safiullin need a dictionary to translate the “Let’s go, Shapo!” chants? Probably.
Prediction:
Félix will win in three sets, powered by his first-serve missile park and Safiullin’s inevitable mid-match existential crisis. Auger-Aliassime’s implied 77% chance isn’t just math—it’s destiny (or at least a very good fan section full of maple-leaf shirts). Unless Safiullin invents a time machine to 2017 and starts winning Grand Slam rounds, this is a “Félix + aces” party.
Place your bets, but leave the dictionaries at home. 🎾🇨🇦
