ATP Challenger Tashkent: Denis Istomin vs Timur Khabibulin
Prediction: Istomin to win (odds 1.45)
Confidence: 4 out of 5
Reasoning: Istomin’s serve is strong on Tashkent’s altitude-affected courts, and his local crowd support is a major asset. Khabibulin is solid on clay but less effective on hard, and fatigue from a tough three-setter yesterday might weigh him down. Expect a straight sets win for Istomin.
ITF Andijan W60: Nigina Abduraimova vs Valeriya Strakhova
Prediction: Over 21.5 Games (odds 2.00)
Confidence: 3 out of 5
Reasoning: Matches between these two have gone long, with both players relying on extended baseline exchanges. Weather is sunny and hot in Andijan, which should slow court conditions and support another grinder.
ITF Junior Samarkand: Otabek Khamroev vs Akmal Rakhmatov
Prediction: Khamroev -3.5 Games Handicap (odds 1.80)
Confidence: 5 out of 5
Reasoning: Khamroev is undefeated this season at home, boasting a 10-0 record in Samarkand. He’s got a powerful forehand and dominates weaker-returning opponents. Handicap bet is justified.
