LiontipsZverev vs Berankis. Predictions and Betting Tips for ATP Munich
Command Analysis
Zverev didn't have the best start of the clay season. At recent Monte-Carlo Masters Alexander was knocked out after the second match. It wasn't the start Alexander hoped for.
In the first match Zverev easily beat Lorenzo Sonego (6:3, 6:3), but in the round of 16 Alexander lost to Belgian player David Goffin (4:6, 6:7). After the game Zverev said that he had a pain in his elbow.
Berankis had already played three matches at Munich. Two of them were on qualification rounds. In the first one he beat Max Hans Rehberg (1:6, 6:3, 6:4) and in the second one lost to Ilya Ivashka (2:6, 6:3, 0:6).
But Berankis still made it to the main draw as a lucky loser. And he didn't dissapoint: in the first round he secured a win over Maximillian Marterer (7:6, 6:3).

Tip and bets
Zverev is a clear favourite for this clash. The only head-to-head game between these players took place at Roland Garros in 2018, where Zverev destroyed Berankis, conceding only four games.
It's hard to say how Berankis can outplay Zverev. The only disadvantage of Zverev is his elbow injury. But just recently German player said that his health is okay and he is fully fit for the tournament.
Our prediction - Zverev to win with a handicap of (-5.5) games.
Zverev should prove his status as a favourite with a win in straight sets. Berankis is nowhere near Alexander so we expect that this match won't take too long.
Second prediction - total under 19 games.
