LiontipsGrigor Dimitrov vs Roberto Bautista Agut. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Cincinnati (August 16, 2021).
Command Analysis
Dimitrov is on a losing streak of three matches. His last victory was over a month ago when he defeated Fernando Verdasco, who himself is out of form (3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4). It is hard to say whether Dimitrov can count on a long stay in Cincinnati, but we would like to remind you that he won this tournament in 2017. Four years ago, Dimitrov defeated Nick Kyrgios in the final match (6-3, 7-5).
Bautista Agut has been good on hard courts this year. On this surface, he once again is demonstrating solid game. Last week in Toronto, Bautista Agut reached the quarterfinals. In the first round the Spaniard eliminated Tommy Paul 6-3, 6-4) and Diego Schwartzman (6-3, 3-6, 7-5). But in the quarterfinal match, he was outplayed by Reilly Opelka (6-3, 7-6).

Tip and bets

Our prediction - Bautista Agut to win with a handicap (-3)
Bautista Agut is the favourite and he should get an easy victory over Dimitrov. The Bolgarian tennis player has lost three matches in a row and is obviously out of form. We believe that the Spaniard will close this match in straight sets.
Second prediction - total under 23 games.
