First, the Austrian closed Federico Delbonis (7-6, 6-1), then he celebrated success over Juan Varillas (6-3, 6-4). At the previous tournament, Thiem finished all of his matches in three sets, and there has been a real improvement in his performance this week.

Tip and bets
Thiem was excellent in his last matches, and we expect him to put up a good fight in the upcoming fixture. Berrettini is having a good season, but he didn't have playing practice for a month and made too many mistakes in Gstaad. For instance, he dropped a set against Portero. This probably will be quite a long fight, so take the over.
Our prediction — total over 22.5 games
Thiem leads the head-to-head - he won four matches against Berrettini and lost three. We think that the Austrian player has a good chance of progressing to the final.
Second prediction — handicap (+3) to Thiem
