LiontipsChristian Garin v Dominik Koepfer. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Madrid (May 5, 2021).
Command Analysis
Christian Garin is far from his optimal form, but nevertheless, he keeps winning on clay, his favourite surface. Christian started his campaign confidently, and in the first round beat the Spanish veteran Fernando Verdasco (6-1, 6-4), who is probably approaching the end of his career.
We wouldn't go as far as say that Garin had a flawless performance against Verdasco, but in critical moments he really did well.
Dominik Koepferplays on hard more often than he does on clay, therefore the results of the German tennis player on this surface leave much to be desired. Nevertheless, in the first round of the Madrid Open, Dominik easily beat the American Reilly Opelka (6-4, 6-4) in straight sets.
However, we should mention that Opelka is in a serious crisis - he has only two wins in eight games played this year.

Tip and bets
In the first round, Garin confidently beat Fernando Verdasco. Koepfer is left-handed, like Verdasco, and there will be no surprises for Garin in this regard.
The Chilean is the clear favorite in this pair. Christian is a clay court specialist, while Koepfer is less confident on this surface. We can't imagine what the German tennis player can do to beat Garin in the upcoming duel. We believe that the Chilean will get a landslide victory in this match.
Our prediction is Garin to win with handicap (-3) games.
For Garin, the upcoming match should be an easy walk. In the first round, the Chilean won in straight sets. We believe that the same fate awaits Koepfer.
Second prediction - total under 22 games.
