LiontipsFabio Fognini vs Egor Gerasimov. Prediction and Betting Tips for Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 (July 26, 2021).
Command Analysis
Fogniniis not very fond of playing on hard: the Italian prefers clay courts. Nevertheless, with the proper attitude, Fabio is able to perform equally well on any surface. It looks like Fognini came to Tokyo with serious intentions because in the first round of the competition he effortlessly defeated one of the stronger Japanese tennis players Yuichi Sugita. The victory was earned in two sets (6-4, 6-4).
Gerasimov is showing mediocre tennis at the moment, and with such performance, he can hardly count on any success at the Olympic Games. In the first round of the tournament, Egor defeated the eminent Frenchman Gilles Simon, but mainly due to the fact that Simon himself is in terrible shape this season. Gerasimov also lost a set to the French tennis player (4-6, 6-3, 6-4).
