LiontipsDenis Kudla vs Jenson Brooksby. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Newport (July 14, 2021).
Command Analysis
During this season, Kudla didn't perform so well and he dropped out of the top 100 of the world rankings. But once it came to playing on grass, Denis has significantly improved his game. The 28-year-old American made it to the final in Nottingham and later reached the third round of Wimbledon. At the Major, he even ousted Alejandro Davidovich and Andreas Seppi. Only Novak Djokovic interrupted that great run. As a result, the American climbed up to 104th place in the ATP rating.
In the previous round of the Hall of Fame Open, Kudla defeated Steve Johnson (7-6, 3-6, 6-4).
Brooksby is a very promising young player. Kudla's 20-year-old compatriot won a number of Challengers and rose to 152nd place in the ATP ranking. His victories include tournaments in Potchefstroom, Orlando, and Tallahassee. In Newport, Brooksby played his first match on grass courts. Before the start of the Hall of Fame Open, Jenson has never played an official match on this surface before. Despite this, he was able to beat the 31-year-old Evgeny Donskoy, who is ranked 147th (7-5, 6-3).
Tip and bets
Brooksby had already beaten Kudla earlier this year, but that was on hard. Denis definitely is a better grass player. In total, he won 12 of his 15 matches on this surface this season. Jenson cannot boast such achievements. Given the way Kudla performs on grass, we believe that he will be able to bring the head-to-head to an equal score.
Our prediction - Denis Kudla to win.
Brooksby has a good serve, so he may well impose a struggle on Kudla. Perhaps they will even play a tie-break, Denis had quite a lot of those recently. All this considered, we think this will be a long match.
Second wager - total over 22.5 games.
