Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+2) for Thiem – 1.85.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22 – 1.70.
Thiem is regarded as the more classy tennis player. Yes, he has been unimpressive lately, but there is progress in his game. Wolf is significantly inferior to Dominic in his backhand action. The former #3 is obliged to pass such an opponent with confidence.
It is possible that Wolf will put up a fight against Thiem. After all, J.J. competes in his home country. Dominic himself is not always stable. It’s very likely that it will be a long encounter.
Thiem played in four tournaments in July before taking a short break from Atlanta, Washington, Montreal and Cincinnati.
Last month, however, Dominic was finally able to play some great matches for the first time since his wrist injury.
First of all, we should mention the tournament in Bastad, where Thiem defeated Emil Ruusuvuori (3-6, 6-1, 7-6).
In Gstaad, Dominic reached the semi-finals, where he lost to Matteo Berrettini (1-6, 4-6). The match against Matteo showed how difficult it is for him to play against opponents from the top 10 so far.
Thiem won two more matches in Kitzbühel. All in all, already much better than in spring, when he had a series of unpleasant defeats.
Thiem has won 4 of the last 6 meetings against the players from the top 100.
Wolf, meanwhile, made some noise in Washington not too long ago, where he reached the quarterfinals.
He started with a win over Taro Daniel (6-2, 6-3) before defeating Denis Shapovalov (6-2, 6-7, 6-3) and Holger Rune (7-5, 4-6, 6-3).
The match against Andrey Rublev, on the other hand, did not work out at all for J.J. Andrey only gave Wolf five games.
After that, Wolf played one match in Cincinnati, in which he lost to Emil Ruusuvuori (6-7, 2-6).
Wolf has recorded 3 wins in his last 5 home games.
In 3 of Wolf’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the second set. We offer to bet on “2nd Set Games – Under 9.5” with odds of 2.01.
