LiontipsAlbert Ramos Vinolas vs Marin Cilic. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Toronto (August 9, 2021).
Command Analysis
Ramos Vinolas is a clay court specialist, so one should hardly expect a great success of the Spanish player on hard courts. This season, Albert played only four matches on hard and lost in three of them. Naturally, Ramos Vinolas played most of the matches on clay this year. The last official appearance of the Spaniard was at the tournament in Kitzbühel. He was immediately eliminated from the competition: in the second round, he lost to Gianluca Mager (6-7, 6-1, 5-7).
Cilic, on the other hand, prefers fast courts, so at the upcoming tournament in Toronto, we expect a good performance from him. The last appearance of the Croatian tennis player was at the end of July in Tokyo. Marin, like many tennis players, represented his country at the Olympic Games. However, Cilic did not stay in the tournament for a long time: in the second round, he lost to Pablo Carreno Busta (7-5, 4-6, 4-6), the future bronze medalist.
