LiontipsCasper Ruud vs Dennis Novak. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Gstaad (July 22, 2021).
Command Analysis
Ruud won the trophy at the tournament in Bastad last week. In the final match, Casper defeated Federico Coria (6-3, 6-3). We want to point out, that Ruud didn't lose a single set in Sweden. He also played only three matches. That means he is not too tired, but very confident: a perfect combination for one more successful tournament. He would want to secure one more win before the start of the hard part of the season: as we know, he is not as good on that surface as he is on clay.
Novak has already played one match at the 2021 Swiss Open in Gstaad. In the first round, the Austrian tennis player outplayed Kasper Zhuk (6-4, 6-4). His next opponent is way more dangerous though, and it seems like this will be the end of Novak's campaign in Switzerland. maybe he will get more chances at different Challengers, but so far this season Dennis hasn't performed so well at bigger tournaments.
