Fognini is stronger than Galan. The question is in what mood Fabio will approach the match. If he is in the right frame of mind, he will beat Daniel. Umag is a special tournament for him.
Galan has tasted victory, so he is unlikely to leave the court without a fight.
Galan Riveros had a successful tournament for himself in Hamburg. He first qualified, defeating Johan Nikles (6-3, 6-7, 6-1) and Riccardo Bonadio (7-5, 6-1). In the main draw, Daniel was able to defeat Federico Coria (7-6, 6-4). That was the end of Galan’s winning streak. In the second round, he lost to Aslan Karatsev (6-3, 3-6, 4-6).
It is worth noting that on clay, Daniel showed a good game. It’s his favourite surface. In 2022, for example, he won 29 of his 44 matches on it.
Galan Riveros has celebrated four wins in his last six matches as an underdog.
Fognini is well acquainted with the courts of Umag. He has come to this city on several occasions. He won the title here in 2016. In addition, Fabio has reached the final here once and fought in the semi-finals three times.
Now Fognini is experiencing bad times. A series of poor results has relegated him to 61st place in the world rankings. However, Fabio has always been considered a highly skilled tennis player. At one time, he was even the ninth-ranked player in the world.
Fognini has won three of the last five meetings against lower-ranked opponents.
In 5 of Fognini’s last 8 matches, more than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.66.
