Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+5) for Schwartzman – 1.61.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 21 – 1.83.
Surprisingly, Schwartzman won the two head-to-head meetings, which were held on hard court. Tsitsipas has beaten Diego exclusively on clay. Given these circumstances, we think Diego won’t lose by a big handicap.
The two players have played two head-to-head matches this season. Schwartzman won on hard court and Tsitsipas on clay. Both matches ended in three sets. It is possible that something similar will happen now.
Tsitsipas started the tournament with a quiet victory over Filip Krajinovic (6-3, 6-4). This was just the case when you could say that his opponent had no chance of success.
Stefanos played his first serve incredibly clean and won 92% of the points.
No wonder Krajinovic didn’t have a single break point while Stef won one game on the receiving end of each set.
Overall, Tsitsipas played much better than last week in Montreal, where he lost to Jack Draper (5-7, 6-7) already in the first match.
Tsitsipas has won 4 of the last 5 meetings at the Cincinnati courts.
Schwartzman, meanwhile, won two matches in a row for the first time since Roland Garros. Before that, he had a series of bad tournaments, including on his favourite clay.
In Cincinnati, Diego started with a solid win against Alex Molcan (5-7, 6-4, 6-2). In the third set, his opponent took only two games.
In the second round, Schwartzman stopped Aslan Karatsev (7-6, 3-6, 6-2), whom he lost twice last year. This time, Aslan had a poor performance in the deciding set.
It was the third time in a row that Schwartzman had gone two rounds in Cincinnati.
Schwartzman played twice in the 1/8 finals on local courts and lost on both occasions.
In 3 of Tsitsipas’ last 5 matches, the tie-break has been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with odds of 2.57.
