Nicolas Villalon Valdes - Santiago Fa Rodriguez Taverna Predikce a tipy na sázení.

This is a better match than the name recognition suggests, but the favorite is still the right side. ATP’s H2H page lists Villalon at No. 752 and Rodriguez Taverna at No. 255, which is a very meaningful gap for a Challenger clay round of 16. The route into the match also supports that view: Villalon came through qualifying and then beat Santiago De La Fuente 6-4, 7-5, while Rodriguez Taverna had to work harder in round one to beat Eric Vanshelboim 6-7(7), 6-4, 6-4. The main reason I am not pushing this to a 7 or 8 is match rhythm. Villalon already has three wins at the venue if you include qualifying, and that can matter in Bolivian clay conditions. But over a longer sample, Rodriguez Taverna is still the more established player by a wide margin, and that ranking gap is too large to ignore. I would keep it simple with Rodriguez Taverna ML, not a handicap, because the qualifier’s recent reps make him dangerous enough to extend the match.
