LiontipsMarcos Giron vs Roberto Bautista-Agut. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Montreal (August 9, 2022).
Command Analysis
Marcos Giron reached the main draw of the tournament after defeating Jason Kubler (7-6, 6-3) and Alexei Popyrin (6-4, 6-7, 6-1) in the qualifying matches. At the previous two tournaments, Giron suffered defeats in the opening rounds. In Atlanta, he lost to Kwon Soon-woo, and at the Citi Open, he yielded to Nick Kyrgios.
This is Roberto Bautista-Agut's first appearance since his victory at the Austrian Open in Kitzbühel. In the final of that tournament, the Spaniard triumphed over Filip Misolic (6-2, 6-2). That was Bautista-Agut's second trophy in 2022 - to win the tournament in Doha, he defeated Nikoloz Basilashvili in straight sets (6-3, 6-4).
Tip and bets
Giron looked good in the qualifying matches - the athlete is on form, but that might not be enough to overcome such opponent as Bautista-Agut. The Spaniard recently won the Austrian Open and is approaching the tournament in Montreal in great spirit.
Our prediction - Bautista-Agut to win with handicap (-3.5)
Bautista-Agut is enjoying a successful season. The Spaniard has already won two tournaments this season, and we expect him to deliver a solid performance in Montreal. Previously, he has reached the quarterfinals of the National Bank Open twice. He should make short work of his first-round opponent.
