Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #1 – Handicap (+4) for Monteiro – 1.67.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction #2 – Total Games Over 22 – 1.76.
Monteiro is looking noticeably better than Dimitrov at this stage of the season. Grigor has failed in the last few tournaments. He lost at the start of the competition in Sofia and also failed to cope with Lehecka in the first round of the tournament in Stockholm. We believe that Grigor will face a difficult match.
The Bulgarian tennis player, as the favourite, will have a tough match.
Dimitrov’s performance in the second half of the season has been disappointing. He has not advanced beyond the second round at any tournament.
The Bulgarian tennis player showed his best game at the beginning of the year. He reached the semi-finals in Melbourne and played in the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells Masters. In addition, Dimitrov reached the semi-final stage in Monte Carlo.
Dimitrov has recorded four wins in six previous matches against left-handed players.
Monteiro advanced to the main draw in Vienna through qualifying. He defeated Dušan Lajović (6-4, 6-2) and Oscar Otte (7-6, 4-6, 6-4).
Thiago had already won two trophies this season. He won the Challenger in Salzburg in July and then won the title in Genoa. Both tournaments were held on Monteiro’s favourite clay.
Monteiro has lost four times in the last five meetings with the top 50.
