LiontipsStefanos Tsitsipas vs Grigor Dimitrov. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Vienna (October 26, 2021).
Command Analysis
Last year, it was Dimitrov who stopped Tsitsipas at the Vienna Open. Tsitsipas lost to the Bulgarian with a score of 7-6, 4-6, 3-6 in the second round. This time, the two tennis players face off right at the start of the tournament. Recently, Tsitsipas has not been delivering the expected results. At the US Open, the Greek was eliminated in the third round, and at Indian Wells he was ousted in the quarterfinal. Perhaps, Tsitsipas will be able to get back on track in the capital of Austria.
Dimitrov lacks consistency, but every now and then we see moments of brilliance from the Bulgarian athlete. Earlier this year, he reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, and then showed mediocre results for about six month, until he got into the semifinals at the tournament in San Diego. Dimitrov's last appearance was at the Indian Wells Masters, where he looked great and passed Daniil Medvedev and Hubert Hurkacz.
Tip and bets
Usually, Dimitrov's successful streaks do not last long. We think that after two good runs at San Diego and Indian Wells, Dimitrov will feel too comfortable and that will work against him. Tsitsipas hasn't looked solid for a while, and he needs to make a comeback and defend the 3rd line in the ATP world ranking.
We predict the Greek's victory here. Our first bet - handicap (-3) to Tsitsipas.
Last year, the opponents played a three-set match. We expect the upcoming confrontation to be long, too - Dimitrov is in great shape and won't be easily defeated.
Second bet - total over 21.5 games
