LiontipsAlexander Zverev vs Stefanos Tsitsipas. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Cincinnati (August 21, 2021).
Command Analysis
After the Wimbledon fiasco, Zverev got in fantastic shape and sweeps all his opponents out of the way. The German athlete has played nine matches since Wimbledon and lost only one of them. His performance at the Olympic Games was simply enchanting. In Tokyo, Zverev won the gold medal, defeating Karen Khachanov in the final.
In Cincinnati, Zverev continued to show great tennis. In the first two matches, he left no chances for Lloyd Harris (7-6, 6-2) and Guido Pella (6-3, 6-2). Casper Ruud was defeated in the quarterfinals (6-1, 6-3).
Unlike Zverev, Tsitsipas appeared at the tournament in Toronto. However, he didn't show a good performance there. After a great start, Tsitsipas was ousted by Reilly Opelka in the semifinal (7-6, 6-7, 4-6).
In Cincinnati, the Greek player also reached the semifinals, but his path was not so easy. He outplayed Sebastian Korda in two sets (7-6, 6-3), but his other opponents managed to win a set from him. Tsitsipas defeated Lorenzo Sonego (5-7, 6-3, 6-4) and Felix Auger-Allassim (6-2, 5-7, 6-1) on his way to the semifinal.
