2024 Japan Open Predictions & Tips
Japan Open Betting Tips
The men's tennis season continues in Asia with the 2024 Japan Open where some of the best players are competing in Tokyo.
The ATP 500 tournament is being held at the Ariake Coliseum from 25 September to 1 October.
Three Top 10 players are competing - Taylor Fritz, Hubert Hurkacz and Casper Ruud. Fritz is a former champion, deserved favourite and will be eager to go one better after losing the US Open final.
Hurkacz, Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Tommy Paul and Holger Rune are in poor form. Frances Tiafoe got to the final in Cincinnati and semi-finals in New York, Ben Shelton the defending champion and on his way to the Top 10.
Jack Draper has cracked the Top 20 but comes to Tokyo after three straight defeats. Former Top 10 players Matteo Berrettini, Marin Cilic and Felix Auger-Aliassime will fancy their chances.
Our tennis experts provide betting tips throughout the tournament. Can Fritz justiy the favouritism in Japan?
