LiontipsFabio Fognini vs Andrey Rublev. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Belgrade (April 23, 2022).
Command Analysis
Fabio Fognini is having a good tournament. In his Belgrade opener, the Italian tennis player faced his compatriot Marco Cecchinato. Fognini lost the first set on a tie-breaker, but managed to turn the match around (6:7, 6:2, 6:2). In the following matches, the athlete looked more confident. He ousted Aljaž Bedene (6:2, 6:3) and defeated Oscar Otte in straight sets (7:5, 6:4).
Andrey Rublev has looked great in 2022. He won the tournaments in Marseille and Dubai and reached the semifinals in Rotterdam and Indian Wells. However, he doesn't look as confident on clay as he does on hard courts. The Serbia Open is his second clay-court tournament this year. The Russian defeated Jiri Lehecka (4:6, 7:6, 6:2) and Taro Daniel (6:3, 6:3) in Belgrade.
