LiontipsSoon Woo Kwon vs Frances Tiafoe. Prediction and Betting Tips for Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 (July 25, 2021).
Command Analysis
This season, Kwon played very few matches on hard, although it was on this surface that he once showed his best results, especially in Asia. For example, in 2019, he won the Challengers in Seoul and Yokohama, and also played in the semifinals of the Gwangju Open. Power serve and good actions on the base line make the Korean a formidable opponent. He showed good results on grass, too: played in the semifinals in Eastbourne and got to the second round of Wimbledon.
At one time, Tiafoe was showing very quick progress, and it seemed that Frances would soon get into the top 20 of the ATP ranking. But after a series of successful matches, the American just lost it. He even almost dropped out of the top hundred. At the moment, Frances is the World's 53rd best tennis player, and he continues to search for his game. Sometimes he even wins tournaments, like the recent challenger in Nottingham. But his winning streak never lasts.
