Command Analysis

Andrey Rublev

Rublev has been out of sight for a while in the singles tournaments but he won the Olympic gold in mixed doubles, partnering with his compatriot Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Such achievement should boost his confidence. However, in the men's singles in Tokyo Rublev went down in his opener, losing to the representative of the host nation, Kei Nishikori (3-6, 4-6).

Fabio Fognini

Fognini started his campaign in Toronto with a hard-earned victory over Jan-Lennard Struff. The Italian won in three sets (6-7, 6-2, 6-4), despite Struff leading in the decisive set and Fognini not feeling well during the match. The Italian even needed to ask for medical assistance but didn't withdraw and willed the victory.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (+4) to Fognini

1.98

Fognini is an inconvenient opponent for Rublev. The Italian is leading the head-to-head with a score of 5-3. The match will in no way be easy for the Russian who comes into the confrontation as the favourite. Rublev hasn't been looking so good in singles lately, and Fognini has a good chance to increase his advantage in the head-to-head.

Our prediction - Fognini to win with a handicap (+4)

TipTotal over 21

1.76

Five out of the eight matches between tennis players had a high total number of games. We expect this fixture to be no different. Rublev is the favourite, but he is in for a difficult fight. Fognini is in good shape, while Rublev is yet to gain his optimal form.
