LiontipsTennys Sandgren vs James Duckworth. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Washington (August 3, 2021).
Command Analysis
Sandgren tries to prove himself at almost every tournament, but he hasn't had a lot of success lately. The American tennis player completely failed during the grass part of the tour, and he decided to seek his fortune at the Olympic Games. But Tennys did not play very well in Tokyo; on the contrary, he made his situation worse. His opponent was Pablo Carreno Busta, who played very aggressively and didn't leave Sandgren a chance (5-7, 2-6). After so many failures, the American clearly desires to perform decently at the tournament in Washington.
Duckworth looks better compared to his opponent, but we do not think he can advance very far n Washington. James also had a bad grass stretch of the tour, and also tried to get good results at the Tokyo Olympics. In Tokyo, Duckworth started off quite well defeating Lukas Klein (5-7, 6-3, 7-6). But the next opponent of the World №80 was the future silver medalist Karen Khachanov, and the Australian had enough strength only for one set. In the second set, he gave the initiative to the Russian player (5-7, 1-6).
