Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22.5 – 1.66.
Fritz is the kind of tennis player who can cause problems for Daniil. He has won 20 of his 26 matches on the open court this season. At his home tournament, Taylor is at least obliged to give his opponent a fight.
At the Cincinnati tournament, Medvedev has not yet performed at his best. Daniil’s previous victories have not been convincing. It is likely that against Fritz he will have to put in a lot of effort again. Taylor is showing an excellent game now. There is no doubt that he will win at least one set.
Medvedev defeated Denis Shapovalov (7-5, 7-5) the day before. The match, as expected, was a hard-fought one.
At the same time, it’s safe to say that Daniil was better than his opponent. Daniil won both sets with a score of 7-5.
Medvedev put on constant pressure on Shapovalov’s serve, while Denis was not so easy in the games on the receiving end.
All in all, a deserved win in a match against a strong opponent.
In the second round, Daniil defeated Botic van de Zandschulp (6-4, 7-5) in two sets.
Fritz, meanwhile, scored a strong win over Andrey Rublev (6-7, 6-2, 7-5) in the previous round.
Andrey took the first set on a tie-break, but then lost the second set almost without a struggle.
In the deciding set, Fritz broke the break at 5-5. Rublev was unable to come back from that break.
It is noteworthy that Taylor, despite the fact that Andrey took the first set, for the whole match did not give up a single game on his serve. In this respect, Fritz has so far been as reliable as a Swiss watch.
On his way to the quarter-finals, Taylor also defeated Sebastian Baez (6-1, 6-1) and Nick Kyrgios (6-3, 6-2).
In 3 of Fritz’s last 5 matches, three sets have been played. We offer to bet on “Total Sets – Over 2.5” with odds of 2.51.
Two tennis players are in good shape, so it will be a tough match with at least 1 tie-break. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with odds of 1.54.
