Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-0.5) for Berrettini – 1.95.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 25.5 – 1.84.
In 2021, Berrettini beat Murray (6-3, 6-3) on grass. History is likely to repeat itself. Matteo is stronger and tougher. In addition, he is familiar with the surface of these courts, as he became champion here in 2019. We believe that Matteo will be able to defeat Sir Andy.
After his return, Berrettini has not always had enough stability. His first matches at the tournament are proof of that. With that in mind, we doubt that the final bout will be over quickly.
Murray reached the final of the grass tournament for the first time since Wimbledon 2016. This achievement will put him back in the top 50.
Andy never stops surprising. Despite the fact that grass is one of his favourite surfaces, hardly anyone could have imagined that he would make it to the final.
Surprisingly, at this tournament, Andy has not lost a single set, although his opponents were far from easy. The former world #1 defeated Alexander Bublik (6-3, 7-6) in the second round and then stopped Stefanos Tsitsipas (7-6, 6-3) in the quarter-finals.
Murray defeated Nick Kyrgios in the semi-finals (7-6, 6-2).In the first set, Nick survived until the tie-break, but in the second set he simply gave up the set. The referee even had to fine Nick for a game for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Murray has played in four finals since his hip replacement and has only one win.
Berrettini, meanwhile, reached the final in his first tournament since undergoing hand surgery. At the same time, he proved once again that he remains one of the strongest players on grass.
In the semi-finals, Matteo had a difficult match against Oscar Otte (7-6, 7-6). He won both games on a tie-break.
It was also interesting that Berrettini’s opponent did not have a single break point in the whole match, while Matteo had only one, which he did not convert. Before the tie-breaks, both played their serves as reliably as possible.
Berrettini defeated Lorenzo Sonego (3-6, 6-3, 6-4) in the quarter-finals. In the second round, he defeated Radu Albot (6-2, 4-6, 6-3).
Berrettini has 5 wins in his last 6 matches against lower-ranked opponents.
In 3 of Murray’s last 5 matches, more than 10.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 10.5” with the odds of 1.98.
