Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+4.5) for Gaston – 1.50.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22 – 1.92.
Thiem is getting closer and closer to his former form with each match. However, at the moment, he has some problems, which makes his eventual victory in the upcoming match very hard to believe. Especially as Gaston will have to defend last year’s final on the courts of Gstaad.
The only face-off between Gaston and Tim was a long one. We expect to see a tight contest in the upcoming match as well.
Gaston won one match in Bastad last week. However, he had a bit of luck. Nikoloz Basilashvili, whom he faced in the first round, was unable to finish the meeting due to injury.
Otherwise, Hugo would have had great difficulties against Nikoloz.
In the second-round match, Gaston lost to Aslan Karatsev (2-6, 4-6).
Gaston has won more than one match on the French clay this season only at Roland Garros, where he reached the third round.
Gaston has successfully advanced to the second round in his last four tournaments.
Thiem seems to have finally made a real comeback. He performed decently in Bastad, where he reached the quarter-finals.
Given all the problems, this result was indeed a big event for the former world #3.
Dominic had a strong win over Emil Ruusuvuori (3-6, 6-1, 7-6) and Roberto Bautista Agut (7-6, 3-6, 6-4) before losing to Sebastian Baez (2-6, 7-6, 4-6).
Thiem could well have stopped Baez as well but made some offensive mistakes in the deciding set. However, it is clear that Thiem has improved considerably in the last few weeks.
Thiem has played at least 22 games in his last five matches on the clay.
In 3 of Thiem’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 1.79.
In Gaston’s last five matches, three tie-breaks have been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with odds of 2.65.
