LiontipsDominik Koepfer vs Pablo Carreno Busta. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Cincinnati (August 18, 2021).
Command Analysis
Koepfer got into the main draw as the lucky loser. He attempts to take full advantage of the second chance, defeating Jan-Lennard Struff in the first round of the tournament in Cincinnati (7-6, 5-7, 6-3). Koepfer got into a tough part of the tournament grid, but he definitely can put up a fight against any opponent he may face.
