Stefanos Tsitsipas chasing his third title of the year
It was a very short grass season for Tsitsipas as the world number four played just one match which was in the first round of Wimbledon and lost to Tiafoe. The Greek is back to winning ways on clay where he had his best results this year winning two titles and reaching his first-ever Grand Slam final at the French Open where he lost to Novak Djokovic.
Tsitsipas was off to a winning start in Hamburg beating Koepfer of Germany in straight sets. His win/loss record of the year is 40-10 and on clay, it’s 23-4. Stefanos struggled to get his first serve going, getting just 57% of them in. But he won 86% of the points on them whenever he managed to get them in. the Greek relies heavily on his first serve and needs to improve it.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Filip Krajinovic Prediction
Tsitsipas said he had trouble in the transition from clay to grass that why he lost in Wimbledon. The Greek is back on clay and he has been almost invincible on this surface this year.
Krajinovic has lost the two meetings against Titsipas and he hopes to have a better result this time. The Serb doesn’t look to be in a form to trouble Tsitsipas though and we think it will be difficult for him against the Greek who had his best season on clay.
We think Krajinovic can win enough games though to make Vbet’s offer of over 19.5 games in the match, a worthy bet with odds of 1.67.
