LiontipsKevin Anderson vs John Isner. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Dallas (February 10, 2022).
Command Analysis
Kevin Anderson is having a difficult time getting back in shape after his knee injury. The South African athlete had no success in Australia - he was eliminated in the first rounds the Melbourne Summer Set 1 and the Australian Open.
In Dallas, Anderson was off to a confident start - he defeated Sam Querrey in straight sets in his opener (6-4, 6-4). However, Anderson's opponent was in poor form, so we wouldn't draw any conclusions from that victory just yet.
John Isner has played five matches in 2022 and celebrated success in only one of them - at the ATP Cup more than a month ago. Back them he prevailed over the Canadian Brayden Schnur (6-1, 6-3).
The American is out of shape, which is evidenced by his defeat to Thanasi Kokkinakis (7-6, 6-7, 6-7) in the opening round of the tournament in Adelaide and the first-round elimination from the Australian Open. In Melbourne, Isner was ousted by Maxime Cressy in five sets (6-7, 5-7, 7-6, 7-6, 4-6).
