Fabio Fognini vs Roberto Carballes Baena. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Bastad (July 15, 2021).

In 2018, Fognini won the Swedish Open. But we must say, that he got a bit lucky with his opponents back then. In almost all matches, he lost a set, but in the end, he prevailed. However, Fabio missed the following tournaments in Bastad. But this year he is back.

Fognini has played 14 matches on clay this year and won seven of them. The Italian cannot boast stability in his game. But he lost to really strong clay players: Jaume Munar, Bernabe Zapata, and Laslo Djere.

Carballes Baena performed at the Swedish Open in 2019. Two years ago, the Spaniard managed to beat Jaume Munar and Damir Džumhur, but he lost to Albert Ramos in the quarterfinals. This, by the way, was Roberto's best result in Bastad.

This time, Carballes Baena arrived in Bastad right after Salzburg, where he failed to achieve good results. In Austria, Roberto unexpectedly lost to Blaz Rola (7-5, 2-6, 6-7). Perhaps the Spaniard wasn't very focused, because his first match in Bastad was much better: Roberto ousted the strong Argentine Bagnis (6-2, 6-4).
