LiontipsDaniil Medvedev vs Taylor Fritz. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Cincinnati (August 19, 2022).
Command Analysis
Daniil Medvedev had two difficult matches at the current tournament. In his opener, the Russian athlete overcame Botic van de Zandschulp (7-5, 6-4), and in the last 16, he needed two tie-breaks to defeat Denis Shapovalov (7-5, 7-5). Last year, Medvedev played in the semifinals of the Cincinnati Masters; he prevailed over Pablo Carreno-Busta and Grigor Dimitrov before losing to Andrey Rublev.
Taylor Fritz cruised past his opponents to reach the quarterfinals. In the first round, he celebrated success over Sebastian Baez (6-1, 6-1). After that, Fritz defeated Nick Kyrgios (6-3, 6-2).

Tip and bets
Medvedev hasn't impressed us that much during this tournament, and his previous victories weren't confident. Medvedev will need to put a lot of effort into the upcoming match if he wants to reach the next round of the competition. We believe this will be a long fight.
Our prediction — total over 22.5 games
Fritz can create problems for the favorite. This season, he won 20 of his 26 matches on hard courts. At the very least, he should win a set, but we believe Fritz has a good chance to win.
Second bet — handicap (+3) to Fritz
