ATP Queen’s Club Day 3 Predictions: Best Bets, Odds & Picks 06/21

13th-ranked Cameron Norrie faces off against 76th-ranked Jordan Thompson in the second round of the 2023 Queen's Club Championships. With a head-to-head record of two wins each from their four previous encounters, both players are evenly matched. However, none of these matches have taken place on grass, adding an element of unpredictability to their clash.

Norrie enters this match as the 1/3 favorite after a hard-fought victory over Miomir Kecmanovic in his opener. Despite being stretched, Norrie managed to prevail in straight sets, showcasing his determination and resilience. Having recently reached the third round at the French Open, he carries good form into the Queen's Club Championships.

Thompson's grasscourt prowess is evident, as he comfortably defeated Alexei Popyrin in the first round. With a semifinal appearance at the Surbiton Challenger and a runner-up finish at the Rosmalen Open, Thompson's recent performances make him a formidable opponent.

While Norrie may be the favorite, Thompson's impressive form suggests he has a genuine chance to make his mark. Anticipate Thompson to put up a strong fight and potentially claim at least one set against Norrie in this matchup.

Expect a closely contested match, potentially spanning 22.5 games, with Thompson making a significant impact.

Best Betting Pick: Over 22.5 total games (-120)

World number six Holger Rune is set to face the 265th-ranked Ryan Peniston in the second round of the Queen's Club Championships. Although Peniston emerged victorious in their previous meeting on grass courts, Rune is poised to dominate this match and secure a 2-0 victory.

Rune showcased his skills in the opening round, edging out Maxime Cressy in two tie-breakers. Despite his limited experience on grass, Rune's confidence remained unscathed as he rallied from a 3-1 deficit and eventually won 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3).

On the other hand, Peniston, once ranked 123rd, has seen a significant decline in his ranking. While he surprised as a wildcard entrant by defeating Ugo Humbert 6-4, 6-2 in the first round, Rune's superior gameplay and ranking make him the clear favorite.

Although Rune may face some challenges on grass, he is expected to emerge victorious in straight sets. While a few games may be contested, Rune's overall dominance will likely lead him to a 2-0 win over Peniston.

Best Betting Pick: Rune to win 2-0 (-110)

In the second round of the 2023 Queen's Club Championships, fourth seed Frances Tiafoe will face fellow American Sebastian Korda. Tiafoe holds a 3-1 head-to-head advantage, winning their previous three meetings. 

However, Korda emerged victorious in their last encounter in Cincinnati. Tiafoe has been in exceptional form, winning the Stuttgart Open title and remaining undefeated on grass this season. He convincingly defeated Botic Van de Zandschulp in the first round, displaying strong serving and converting break-point opportunities. 

Korda started his grasscourt season with a straight-set victory over Dan Evans, showcasing his serving prowess and solid baseline play. Although Korda had a disappointing run on clay, he aims to capitalize on his promising start on grass. 

Expect a tightly contested match, but Tiafoe's current form makes him the favorite to prevail. Anticipate an intense battle with over 22.5 games likely to be played.

Best Betting Pick: Over 22.5 games (-133)
