LiontipsUgo Humbert vs Andrei Rublev. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Halle (June 20, 2021).
Command Analysis
Humbert's way to the final of the Halle Open was not easy: he won all his matches in three sets, beating Sam Querrey (4-6, 7-6, 7-6), Alexander Zverev (7-6, 3-6, 6-3), Sebastian Korda (6-2, 6-7, 6-4), and Felix Auger-Aliassim (6-4, 3-6, 7-6).
It seems that grass is a comfortable surface for the Frenchman. Last week he had a successful tournament in Stuttgart, making it to the quarterfinal. Who knows how the tournament would have gone if luck was on Ugo's side: he lost two tie-breaks to Auger-Aliassime in that quarterfinal match.
After a great start to the season, Rublevwent on a bad run. The Russian athlete failed at several clay tournaments and was knocked out of Roland Garros in the first round. But it seems that after that disappointing performance, Andrei had a good rest and returned with more energy and desire to play. In Halle, he is demonstrating great tennis.
Rublev beat his first opponents here quite confidently. He outplayed Jordan Thompson, Philippe Kohlschreiber, and Karen Khachanov in two sets. Only Nikoloz Basilashvili created some problems for the Russian. Niko managed to win one set, but Andrei got the final victory (6-1, 3-6, 6-3).

Tip and bets
The tennis players have played two head-to-head matches, both of which Rublev won. In 2020, he won indoors in three sets (6-4, 4-6, 7-5). We believe, this time the athletes will play three sets again. Humbert is a very uncompromising player, as his recent matches have shown, but he makes plenty of mistakes. For example, in the semifinal against Auger-Aliassime, he lost his serve three times.
We believe that Andrei will take advantage of Hugo's mistakes and get a landslide victory.

Humbert played three sets in all his matches. In the last head-to-head match, Ugo won a set from Rublev. We believe that the Frenchman will fight for every game and will win at least one set.
Second prediction -total over 22.5 games.
