Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+2.5) for Wawrinka – 1.83.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 23 – 1.73.
Wawrinka has a good chance of winning. The fact is that Stan is considered a very uncomfortable opponent for Tiafoe. Stan has faced Frances twice and beat him twice. Psychologically, this will put pressure on Frances. We are not ruling out a successful game in Stan’s performance.
In the previous two head-to-head meetings, the opponents had exchanged winning sets. It is possible that history will repeat itself. Tiafoe has a strong serve, so this match should not end quickly.
The upcoming match will be Tiafoe’s first on grass this season. However, there is no doubt that he is capable of succeeding on this surface.
Just think back to last season. Frances first won the Challenger in Nottingham, then reached the quarter-finals in London and then beat Stefanos Tsitsipas (3-6, 6-3, 6-4) at Wimbledon. Next, however, was a loss to Karen Khachanov (3-6, 4-6, 4-6), but it is clear that Frances is one of those who can surprise.
Tiafoe’s main success so far this year has been reaching the final of the tournament in Estoril, where he lost to Sebastian Baez (3-6, 2-6).
8 of Tiafoe’s last 10 matches on grass have ended in two sets.
Wawrinka finally returned in the spring after a serious foot injury that had kept him out since last March.
At Roland Garros, Stan lost in his first match to Corentin Moutet (6-2, 3-6, 6-7, 3-6). Not the most serious opponent, but Stan is still struggling physically. Two or three sets he is capable of playing at a good level, but more, alas, not.
Since his return, Wawrinka has only been able to make the first round of the Rome Open. The former world #3 beat Reilly Opelka (3-6, 7-5, 6-2) and Laslo Dere (7-6, 3-6, 6-4) before losing to Novak Djokovic (2-6, 2-6).
Wawrinka reached the final twice at Wimbledon, in 2014 and 2015.
Wawrinka has failed to reach the second round of the main draw in five of his last six tournaments.
Tiafoe has played a tie-break in 3 of his last 4 matches. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with the odds of 1.68.
