LiontipsDusan Lajovic vs Roberto Bautista Agut. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Cup (January 5, 2022).
Command Analysis
Dusan Lajovic looked very decent in his first matches at the current ATP Cup, despite losing both of them. He put up a good fight against Casper Ruud (3-6, 5-7) and had a good chance of beating Christian Garin, but had to withdraw from the match due to injury (6-4, 4-6, 0-3).
Since Novak Djokovic is not participating in the current ATP Cup, Lajovic is the leader of the Serbian national team.
Roberto Bautista Agut won both of his matches at the current tournament. First, he defeated Christian Garin (6-0, 6-3), and then prevailed over Casper Ruud (6-4, 7-6) in a very close fight.
The Spaniard is in great shape, and in the absence of Rafael Nadal he is the leader of the Spanish national team. We expect Bautista Agut to lead his team all the way to the finals.
