LiontipsMikael Ymer vs Jan-Lennard Struff. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Metz (September 21, 2021).
Command Analysis
Ymer was supposed to play in the qualifying rounds but has replaced Jeremy Chardy in the main draw of the tournament. The Swedish tennis player is having an average season. He prefers playing on clay but feels comfortable on hard courts, too. However, he played only one match indoors this year. At the start of the season, he lost to Jiri Vesely in Montpellier (1-6, 1-6).
Struff is having a poor season. He needs to defend his rating points, otherwise, he will drop much lower in the ATP rankings. In Toronto, Cincinnati, Winston-Salem, and New York, Struff was eliminated in the first rounds. We wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened in Metz. This year he played only two matches indoors and lost in both of them.
Trends
СтавкаTie-break - Yes
Struff has played 3 tie-breaks in the last 5 matches.
Ставка1st Set: Total Over 9.5
More than 9.5 games were played in the first set in 4 of Ymer's last 5 matches.
Tip and bets
Struff is the favourite, but we have doubts about him. Struff is in poor form, and Ymer defeated him in the only previous match between the athletes. We think that the Swedish tennis player has a good chance of winning here.
Our prediction - Ymer to win with a handicap (+3)
The only match between the tennis players ended in three sets. We expect a similar scenario in the upcoming meeting. Struff may be the favourite of the match, but Ymer is a very uncomfortable opponent for the German, and we believe this will be a close match.
Second prediction - total over 23 games
