LiontipsDiego Schwartzman vs Aslan Karatsev. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Madrid (May 5, 2021).
Command Analysis
Diego Schwartzman will be defending his points at the Masters in Rome next week, so we are not very sure what is the Argentinian player's objective at the current tournament in Madrid.
Of course, Diego needs playing practice in order to properly prepare for both the Masters in Rome and Roland Garros. We also would like to remind you, that Diego has already won a tournament this year - in March, he won the Argentine Championships in Buenos Aires.
Aslan Karatsev has gained good form. The Russian recently defeated Novak Djokovic (7-5, 4-6, 6-4) at a tournament in Belgrade. And right now Aslan is a dangerous opponent to any tennis player.
Aslan Karatsev started his campaign in Madrid with a match against Ugo Humbert, who is not in the best form at the moment. Aslan won in straight sets with a score of 7-5, 6-4.

Tip and bets
In one of his recent interviews, Schwartzman admitted, that he would like to take revenge on Karatsev for his defeat at the Australian Open. Now the Argentinian player has an opportunity to do that, and he may well use it since they will face off on Diego's favorite surface - clay.
Schwartzman is not the favorite of the upcoming meeting, since this season his performance on clay has been far from ideal, but he will go into this fight with a winning attitude.
Our prediction is Schwartzman to win.
We believe that this will be a close match. Karatsev is the favorite, but we doubt that he will be able to finish the match in two sets. Schwartzman probably wants to take revenge for the defeat at the Australian Open, so he will fight to the last moment.
Second prediction - total over 22 games.
