On July 20, Bernabe Zapata Miralles takes on Pablo Cuevas in the first round of the Croatia Open in Umag. Who will be the winner in this match? Look out for our answer in the prediction below.
Command Analysis
Bernabe Zapata Miralles
SpainZapata Miralles played most of his matches this season on clay. His style of play is adapted to this surface more than to any other. Just a few days ago, Bernabe appeared at the tournament in Newport, which is held grass, and he performed extremely unsuccessfully there, getting eliminated straight away in the first round. The Spaniard was defeated by the Croatian veteran Ivo Karlovic (7-6, 1-6, 4-6).
Pablo Cuevas
UruguayCuevas's career is slowly coming to an end. Nevertheless, sometimes the Uruguayan athlete still shows effective and beautiful tennis. Although this happens very rarely lately. Cuevas is not as fast as he used to be, and long matches became more challenging for him. But that all said, at the most recent tournaments Pablo looked solid.
Trends
СтавкаTie-break - yes
Zapata Miralles has played 3 tie-breaks in the last 5 matches.
Ставка1st set: total under 9.5
In 4 out of Cuevas's last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games were played in the first set.
Tip and bets
Cuevas loves to play on clay and is very good at it. But recently the Uruguayan tennis player has lost momentum, and possibly he lacks physical stamina over long campaigns. In the last two matches, Cuevas lost to the younger Londero and Gombos. We believe that it will be difficult for the Uruguayan to cope with Zapata Miralles.
Our prediction - Zapata Miralles to win.
Playing against the younger generation becomes more and more challenging for the 35-year-old Cuevas. Although Pablo is the favourite in the upcoming match, we think that Zapata Miralles will definitely put up a fight and make life difficult for Pablo.
Second wager - total over 22 games.
