LiontipsCasper Ruud vs Stefanos Tsitsipas. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Toronto (August 13, 2021).
Command Analysis
At the start of the tournament, Ruud faced two very experienced tennis players. His first opponent was Marin Cilic, who Ruud outplayed in three sets. In the second round, Ruud went against Dusan Lajovic. He defeated the Serbian tennis player in straight sets (6-4, 6-3). At the moment, the Norwegian is on a winning streak of 14 matches. In July, Ruud won three tournaments in a row - in Bastad, Gstaad, and Kitzbuhel.
Tsitsipas played two very different matches in Toronto. In the first round, the Greek got a hard-earned victory over Ugo Humbert (6-3, 6-7, 6-1). And in the second round, he effortlessly eliminated the Russian Karen Khachanov (6-3, 6-2). Tsitsipas seems to be recovering from his disastrous performance at Wimbledon and at the Tokyo Olympics, where he lost at the very start of the competition.
Tip and bets
Tsitsipas has a much bigger chance to win on hard. Ruud is a clay court specialist and prefers slow courts. Nevertheless, despite this, we believe that this will be a close match since Ruud is in red-hot form and he will definitely put up a fight.
Our prediction - Ruud to win with a handicap (+3.5) games.
Tsitsipas is the favourite of the match, but the Greek is in for a tough fight. Both matches between the tennis players were close, and we don't see why it would be different today.
Second wager - total over 22 games.
