LiontipsDaniil Medvedev vs Stefanos Tsitsipas. Prediction and Betting Tips for ATP Cincinnati (August 20, 2022).
Command Analysis
Daniil Medvedev was off to a rough start at the current tournament. He played three ties-breaks in his first two matches, but managed to close Botic van de Zandschulp and Denis Shapovalov in straight sets (7-5, 6-4 and 7-5, 7-5, respectively). But the Russian athlete has gained momentum and had an easier win over Taylor Fritz in the quarterfinal (7-6, 6-3).
Stefanos Tsitsipas, on the other hand, looked confident in his first two matches of the Cincinnati Masters and left no chance to Filip Krajinovic (6-3, 6-4) and Diego Schwartzman (6-3, 6-3). But in the quarterfinal match against John Isner, the Greek tennis player needed three sets to get the upper hand (7-6, 5-7, 6-3).
