Tip and bets
Popyrin is having a disappointing season. He demonstrated solid performances only at the beginning of the year. We do not expect any surprises here - Fritz should overcome the Australian athlete.
Our prediction - handicap (-3.5) to Fritz
On the other hand, Fritz hasn't played since Wimbledon, so it will take him some time to gain momentum and get used to hard surface. This gives Popyrin a fighting chance. Take the over.
