Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+3.5) for Ivashka – 1.70.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 23 – 1.90.
Tsitsipas is not perfect on grass courts. He, for example, recently lost the set to Bonzi with a score of 1-6. We believe that Ivashka will be able to compete with Stefanos and at least take one set away from him.
The last head-to-head encounter between the two players was a long one. We expect the same scenario to happen. Stefanos is not perfect on grass, so Ivashka will have chances in the upcoming match to take away at least one set from Stef.
Ivashka started the tournament with a confident win over Emil Ruusuvuori (6-4, 6-1). Just like in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Ilya had enough to take on Emil in two sets.
The only difference was that in the previous match the second set ended 6-2, while in yesterday’s match it was 6-1. All in all, no chance for the opponent.
Last week, Ivashka had one round in Halle before losing to Daniil Medvedev (6-7, 3-6). Interestingly, Ilya was also stopped in Hertogenbosch, but in both cases, he had very decent matches against the world #1.
Ivashka has lost his last 10 consecutive matches against the opponents from the top 10.
Tsitsipas, meanwhile, is not yet happy. He may not be worthy of criticism, but he is expected to do better in terms of results.
Stefanos lost in Stuttgart to Andy Murray (6-7, 3-6) in the second round and dropped out of the top 5.
At the Halle tournament, Tsitsipas stopped again after the second round. This time he wasn’t able to get past Nick Kyrgios (7-5, 2-6, 4-6), although he took the first set. Nick completely outplayed Step in the second and third sets.
Tsitsipas has won 17 of his last 18 matches as a favourite.
In 4 of Tsitsipas’ last 5 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 the odds of 1.63.
In the last five matches, Ivashka has played four tie-breaks. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with the odds of 2.11.
