LiontipsAlexander Bublik vs Roberto Bautista Agut. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Montpellier (February 4, 2022).
Command Analysis
Big server Alexander Bublik is excellent on indoor hard courts. Neither Tallon Griekspoor (7-6, 7-6), nor Pierre-Hugues Herbert (6-3, 6-7, 6-2) could outplay the Kazakhstani athlete. In the quarter-final match of the current tournament, Bublik faces a more difficult opponent - today he goes against second seed Bautista Agut.
The Spanish tennis player has started his campaign in the Round of 16. In his opener, Roberto Bautista-Agutwas confidently leading against Gilles Simon before the French athlete withdrew from the match due to an injury. This makes it hard to judge Bautista Agut's current form, however, the Spaniard has already helped his national team reach the ATP Cup finals at the start of the tour and reached the third round of the Australian Open.
