You never know what to expect from Fognini. He is a very unique player. His actions in the match will depend on his mood. In Cincinnati, Fabio was all right with that.
Both opponents are considered unstable tennis players. Each of them can give up a match without a fight.
Fognini began to show signs of life. In Cincinnati, he managed to pick up several victories. I would especially like to mention his victory over Albert Ramos-Vinolas (6-2, 6-3) and his fight against Andrey Rublev (7-6, 6-7, 2-6). Fabio even took one set against Andrey but failed to play any better.
Fabio needs to improve his situation. He is 61st in the world rankings. For the former #9 this is a catastrophic result.
Fognini has lost 5 of his last 6 ATP 250 tournament battles.
Lajovic has had a few successful matches lately, but he has been playing on clay. On hard court, however, he has been doing very poorly. This season, Dusan has lost 9 out of 13 matches on this surface. It is no wonder he is close to relegation from the top-100 world rankings. Lajovic is currently ranked 87th.
He played his last hard-court matches in qualifying for Cincinnati. First, Dusan beat Stefan Kozlov (6-3, 7-5), but then lost to Lorenzo Musetti (6-4, 6-4).
Lajovic has only 2 wins in his last 5 matches against higher-ranked opponents.
In four of Lajovic’s last five matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.72.
In 3 of Fognini’s last 5 matches, the tie-break has been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with odds of 2.22.
