LiontipsStefanos Tsitsipas vs Andrei Rublev. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2021 ATP Finals (November 15, 2021).
Command Analysis
Stefanos Tsitsipas had a fantastic first half of the season and even managed to reach the final at Roland Garros. He won the first two sets, but his opponent was Novak Djokovic himself, who turned around the match and prevailed in five sets (7-6, 6-2, 3-6, 2-6, 4-6). Since then, Tsitsipas hasn't been the same. Moreover, at the Masters in Paris, the Greek tennis player received an elbow injury, which can affect his performance in Turin.
Andrei Rublevhad also been on fire in the first half of the tour, but at the end of the year, his results are nothing to write home about. In Moscow, Rublev lost to Adrian Mannarino in the second round (7-5, 6-7, 6-3), and in St. Petersburg, he was eliminated by Botic van de Zandschulp in the quarterfinal match (3-6, 4-6). Just before the start of the ATP Finals, Rublev was defeated by Taylor Fritz in the second round of the Masters in Paris (5-7, 6-7).

Tip and bets
The previous two head-to-head matches ended in two sets. We expect a similar course of events in this fixture, too. Neither tennis player looks particularly impressive at the end of the season, and most of the matches with their participation end quickly.
Our prediction - total under 24 games
Tsitsipas withdrew from the previous tournament due to an elbow injury. The Greek admitted, that his elbow does not disturb him any more, but it is hard to say whether he has fully recovered. We suggest betting on Rublev, who has no health issues.
Second bet - Rublev to win
