Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Over 22 – 1.70.
Van Rijthoven is somehow unimpressive in his recent matches. Yes, his serve is flying, but he’s not very good at rallies. With a game like that, it’s hard to expect success against Ymer.
Van Rijthoven focuses too much on serving in his matches. Because of this, most of his matches turn out to be long. For example, in Tim’s last four games, the same number of tie-breaks were played. It is very likely that this clash with Ymer will not end quickly either.
Van Rijthoven has not had much success since winning the tournament in Hertogenbosch and reaching the Wimbledon 1/8 finals. In Indianapolis and at the US Open, Tim dropped out in the second round.
Van Rijthoven is ranked 116th in the ATP rankings, so he did not get into the main draw directly. Tim was forced to battle it out in qualifying. He was up to the task. He defeated Aziz Dougaz (6-4, 6-4) and Gianmarco Ferrari (6-4, 7-6).
Ymer has been excellent in indoor tournaments. The Swedish representative has played 116 matches in his career on the indoor hard courts. Mikael has won 75 of them.
Ymer also had to fight his way through qualification for the main draw in Florence. In the first round, he confidently dealt with Andreas Seppi (7-5, 6-3). In the decisive match, he was waiting for Borna Gojo. It was not an easy encounter, but Mikael secured the victory (4-6, 6-4, 6-4).
Ymer has been successful in reaching the second round in four of the last six tournaments.
In five of Van Rijthoven’s last six matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with odds of 1.57.
