Prop Bets: Nuno Borges VS Arthur Rinderknech 2025-08-07
Humorous Prediction: Nuno Borges vs. Arthur Rinderknech
ATP Cincinnati Open, August 7, 2025
The Setup:
Nuno Borges (42nd-ranked, 1.47 implied probability to win) faces Arthur Rinderknech (64th-ranked, 2.65 odds) in a first-round clash. They’ve teamed up to win doubles quarters at the French Open, but now they’re squaring off like exes at a family reunion: “Remember when we aced together? Now let’s see who aces you.”
The Stats:
- Borges is a -150 favorite (57-59% implied win chance).
- Rinderknech is +250 underdog (36-38% implied win chance).
- Spreads: Borges (-2.5 games, 1.79-1.83 odds) vs. Rinderknech (+2.5, 1.88-1.95).
- Totals: 23.5 games (Over: 1.83-2.0 odds; Under: 1.8-2.0).
Why Borges Will Win (Probably):
Borges is the “consistent” one, per the news. He’s returning from a Toronto loss to Casper Ruud (who’s now his next potential opponent if he wins). Rinderknech’s inconsistency? The bookmakers love it.
Why Rinderknech Might Win (Surprise!):
If Borges trips over his own ego while serving, or if the crowd chants “DOUBLE FAULT!” just as he’s about to close the match.
Player Prop Bets (If You’re Feeling Fancy):
- Total Games: Over/Under 23.5 (BetRivers has the lowest line at 22.5).
- Set Spreads: Borges (-2.5 games) is the spread favorite. If you’re betting Rinderknech to cover, you’re either a masochist or a fan of chaos.
Final Verdict:
Borges in three sets, 6-4, 6-3, or 7-5. Unless Rinderknech pulls off a doubles-style lob volley while Borges is distracted by his phone, this one’s a foregone conclusion.
Place your bets, but don’t blame me if Rinderknech serves a “unlucky” double fault into Borges’ water bottle. Tennis is chaos. 🎾
