LiontipsCarlos Alcaraz Garfia vs Filip Krajinovic. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Hamburg (July 21, 2022).
Command Analysis
Carlos Alcaraz Garfia has been amazing on clay courts this year and has lost only two matches on this surface. However, in the first round of the Hamburg European Open, the young Spanish star looked underwhelming. Despite all predictions, Alcaraz really struggled against the World №259 Nicola Kuhn and surrended the first set in the match (3-6, 6-1, 7-6). He needs to improve his performance if he intends to make a deep run here.
Filip Krajinovic is currently ranked 43rd. He had a slow start to the season but delivered good results at recent tournaments. For example, the Serbian athlete was the runner-up of the Cinch Championships in June. Last year, Krajinovic played in the final of the Hamburg European Open. He lost the title match to Pablo Carreno-Busta. The Serb hopes to defend his last year's result. In the opening round, he prevailed over Sebastian Baez in three sets.
