LiontipsJordan Thompson vs Yuichi Sugita. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Newport (July 14, 2021).
Command Analysis
Thompson is looking good on grass, given that this is not the Australian's favorite surface. Nevertheless, it was on the grass that Jordan managed to improve this season's statistics. At Wimbledon, Thompson reached the third round, where he lost to Ilya Ivashka in three sets (4-6, 4-6, 4-6). In Newport, Thompson started with a match against Cedric Stebe, who was unable to finish due to injury and withdrew from the competition.
Sugita only showed good performance on hard this season. On clay and on grass, the Japanese tennis player had nothing to show. At the previous five tournaments, Sugita was knocked out right after the first match. But in Newport, finally, he got a win: Sugita defeated Yuri Rodionov, beating the representative of Australia in two sets with a score of 7-5, 6-3.
