Context last updated 12 Jul 2026, 22:21 · Europe/Bucharest

Mika Petkovic's dominant clay form (22-7 in 2026) and much lighter Sunday workload give him a clear edge over Sander Jong, who is coming off a near-three-hour qualifying battle.

Petkovic is favored to win the match and the first set, with value on his moneyline at 1.80, while the under 7.5 total aces is a solid secondary angle given both players' low ace rates on clay.
