LiontipsStefanos Tsitsipas vs Casper Ruud. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Turin (November 17, 2021).
Command Analysis
Stefanos Tsitsipas is having a disappointing second half of the tour. He started his Turin campaign with a defeat to Andrei Rublev (6-4, 6-4), who himself is in a downturn. The Greek tennis player hasn't delivered good results in a very long time, and he might not even make it to the playoffs in Turin, judging from his current form.
This is the first ATP Final tournament for Casper Ruud. In his very first match, the Norwegian was set to play against Novak Djokovic. He put up a good fight in the first set and even was in the lead for some time, but eventually lost to the World №1 in two straight sets (6-7, 1-6). Ruud is having the best season in his career and will definitely compete for the playoffs.

Tip and bets
At this year's Masters in Toronto, Tsitsipas defeated Ruud in two straight sets, losing only five games to the Norwegian. Tsitsipas is heading into this match as a favourite, but we don't don't expect him to get an easy win here.
Our prediction - total over 22 games
This year, Ruud has significantly improved his performance on indoor courts and won 5 out of 8 matches. The Norwegian athlete has a good chance against Tsitsipas, especially if we consider the Greek's poor form.
