LiontipsStefanos Tsitsipas vs Nikoloz Basilashvili. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Cup (January 5, 2022).
Command Analysis
Stefanos Tsitsipas played only one match at the current tournament. The Greek tennis player underwent an elbow surgery a couple of month ago, and that obviously is still affecting his performance. He will need some time to return to his usual level. Tsitsipas lost his only match at the ATP Cup to Diego Schwarzman, who is in fantastic form right now (7-6, 3-6, 3-6).
Nikoloz Basilashvili is in similar situation here. Judging by his performance in the first match, the Georgian player is in poor form. Basilashvili couldn't do much against Diego Schwartzman and won only three games in the match (1-6, 2-6). We are expecting a better performance from the Georgian in the upcoming fixture.
Trends
СтавкаTie-break - yes
Tsitsipas played 2 tie-breaks in his last 5 matches.
Ставка1st set: total under 9.5
In 3 of Basilashvili's last 5 matches, no more than 9 games were played in the first set.
Tip and bets
The tennis players have met three times before, and each time the match was quite long. But today we are predicting a quick win for Tsitsipas. Basilashivili isn't fully ready for the tournament, and we doubt that he can outplay the formidable opponent.
Our prediction - total under 22 games
Basilashvili had a terrible match against Schwartzman and only won three games, while Tsitsipas looked more interesting and won a set. The Greek shouldn't have any difficulty defeating Basilashvili in the upcoming fight.
Second wager - handicap (-4) to Tsitsipas
