Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+3.5) for Thiem – 1.59.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22 – 1.64.
In head-to-head encounters, Dominic has beaten Matteo in 4 of his 7 matches. Dominic knows well how to act against Matteo. He is likely to be able to put up a fight against the favourite.
Thiem has been excellent in recent matches. He has all the chances to give Matteo a fight. Especially since Berrettini himself did not play his best against Martinez Portero. Both opponents are worth each other, so we doubt that the match will end quickly.
Tim reached the semi-finals at the ATP Championships for the first time since May 2021. Not a bad achievement when you consider that it was not so long ago that Dominic could not even make it past the first round.
He defeated Juan Pablo Varillas (6-4, 6-3) on Friday. Just as in his previous match against Federico Delbonis (7-6, 6-3), two sets were enough for him.
However, according to Thiem, he was not completely satisfied with his performance. In the first set, the former world #3 failed to serve for a set in the first set, and in the second set, he failed to serve for the match. “Of course, it’s nerves,” Thiem said as laconically as possible, but very clearly about it.
However, the progress in Thiem’s game is not difficult to notice. Everything is heading towards the fact that he will soon be among the favourites again in almost all tournaments.
Thiem has lost six of his last eight meetings with the top 20.
Berrettini, meanwhile, is playing his first tournament since the COVID-19 that caused him to miss Wimbledon.
Matteo won two tournaments in June and was considered one of the main favourites for Wimbledon, but just before the first match, it became known that he has a covid.
In Gstaad, where he won his first ATP title, Matteo started by defeating Richard Gasquet (6-4, 6-4).
In the quarter-finals, Berrettini had an epic match against Pedro Martinez (3-6, 7-6, 6-1). Matteo dropped the first set, lost 1:5 in the tie-break of the second, but somehow got back into the match. Pedro was so upset that he took only one game in the decisive set.
Berrettini has recorded eight wins in his last ten matches at the semi-final stage.
Dominic has played a tie-break in 5 of the last 6 matches. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with odds of 2.13.
