QF: (7) Cameron Norrie WR 24 vs (WC) Rafael Jódar (ESP) WR 55 (= CH)
19 yo Jodar (JCH = 4) is the strong betting favourite. 4/11 as against Cam 11/5.
Jodar thrashed Cam in Acapulco just 2 months ago, 3 and 2. And on clay, in Spain, I guess he probabky justifies that backing!
To balance it, tennis abstract sees it even, Cam v slight favourite
I also see that Jodar won the Marrakech 250 title on clay in the first week of this month. He certainly looks the favourite to me but I've been tempted for a wee punt on Cam at these odds.

Yes, I did the same yesterday
I know Jodar won the 250. And beat Cam in early March.
But, for me, Jodar was more a hard court player as a junior (won the US Open, didn't do much a RG)
And, in a very short-term timeframe, people are often well too opimistic about up-and-coming youngsters
So, yes, even if Cam loses, the odds are wrong; and there's a good chance you'll be able to get out at a profit at some time in the match, even if he loses in the end
