LiontipsMonfils - Alcaraz. Betting Tip and bets for the ATP Cincinnati match
Command Analysis
Current form
Monfils confidently won the first match in Cincinnati. The representative of France took advantage of Alexei Popyrin's fatigue. He beat the Australian in two sets. This victory was very opportune, since the veteran had not impressed with his results before and had a series of three defeats in a row.
Professional qualities
Monfils has excellent technique and speed. In his best years, he was considered a very dangerous opponent, but now he is 37 years old and at such an age it is difficult to demonstrate the former game. The veteran's speed has become much slower, so it is difficult for him to fight younger opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Despite all the problems, Monfils still holds his position in the top 50. At the moment, the veteran is ranked 46th. As for the fights on open hard, this season he has ten wins in 17 matches.
Interesting facts for betting
Monfils has lost three of his last four matches, and has looked particularly bad in the first sets, where most of them did not reach more than nine games.
Current form
Alcaraz is the current Wimbledon champion. He defeated Novak Djokovic in the Major final. However, the Serb managed to get revenge at the Olympics. Then, in the decisive match, the Spaniard lost to him in two sets. After that, Carlos took a short time-out.
Professional qualities
Alcaraz is a machine. The Spaniard moves around the court very well and has good technique. His forehand is one of the best on tour. It is no wonder that Carlos was recently ranked number one in the world.
Current indicators in the tour
Alcaraz has played 15 matches on open hard courts this season, winning 13 of them. However, he has dropped from the top of the world rankings to third place.
Interesting facts for betting
Alcaraz tries to finish his matches as quickly as possible. At the Olympics, for example, none of the Spaniard's matches went more than two sets.

1.72Tip and bets
In Miami, the Spaniard beat the Frenchman by six games. Something similar can be expected in Cincinnati. Monfils is currently lacking speed and will not be able to keep up with his opponent's quick actions. It is unlikely that Gael will resist Carlos.

Tiebreak bet
Most likely, Monfils will not be able to hold out until the tie-break. Alcaraz will simply not allow him to do so. We suggest betting on his absence.
Betting Tip - tie-break - no for 1.60
