LiontipsYannick Hanfmann vs Dennis Novak. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Gstaad (July 20, 2021).
Command Analysis
Hanfmann, after returning to clay courts, started winning again. Last week, Yannick took part in the Swedish Open in Bastad, where he performed quite well. Hanfmann reached the semifinals of the tournament and beat some pretty serious opponents along the way. Yannick won the matches against Tiago Monteiro (6-2, 7-5), Jiri Vesely (6-4, 6-3), and Arthur Rinderknech (6-4, 6-3) in straight sets. But in the semifinals, Hanfmann was completely outplayed by Federico Coria (2-6, 1-6).
Novak also feels more comfortable on clay courts. This season the Austrian tennis player won most of his victories on this surface. Dennis, like Hanfmann, played at the tournament in Bastad last week. However, he didn't have a good run there: in the first round, he lost to Pedro Martinez in two sets (5-7, 1-6). But we would like to point out, that he confidently passed the qualifying rounds before that, beating Viktor Durasovic (6-2, 6-4) and Marc-Andrea Huesler (6-2, 6-2).
