LiontipsAlessandro Giannessi vs Richard Gasquet. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Umag (July 21, 2021).
Command Analysis
Giannessihas already won three matches at the current tournament in Umag. In all of the matches of the qualification, Alessandro comfortably won in two straight sets. The Italian scored victories over Rudolf Molleker (6-3, 7-5) and Renzo Olivo (7-6, 6-1). In the first round of the main draw, Giannessi outplayed the Czech tennis player Jiri Vesely, also in two sets (7-6, 7-5). It seems that Alessandro feels very confident on clay courts, and we are intrigued by what he can show in Umag.
Gasquet has been performing without much enthusiasm lately. The French tennis player left the last two tournaments at the very start. Last week Richard appeared at the Swedish Open in Bostad, where he lost in the first round to Marco Cecchinato (2-6, 7-5, 3-6). So far, nothing shows that Gasquet's game will dramatically change in the near future, thus it is difficult to speak of his prospects at the current tournament in Umag.

Tip and bets
Gasquet has been unconvincing lately. The Frenchman left the last tournaments immediately. We believe that Giannessi can compete with Gasquet at the moment, and suggest playing a handicap to the Italian tennis player.
Our prediction - Giannessi to win with a handicap (+3)
Gasquet has been struggling at the recent tournaments. The Frenchman plays without much enthusiasm and it is hard to understand the reason. We believe that Giannessi won't leave the court without a fight. Moreover, he is already familiar with the local courts. A long match between these two athletes is very likely.
