LiontipsZverev vs Carreno Busta. Prediction and bets on the ATP Cincinnati match
Command Analysis
Current form
Zverev started his performance in Cincinnati with a confident victory. In the previous match, the German representative left no chance for Karen Khachanov, beating him with a score of 6:3, 6:2.
It is worth adding that last week in Montreal, Alexander was knocked out in the quarterfinals. Then he unexpectedly lost to Sebastian Korda in three sets.
Professional qualities
Zverev is a versatile tennis player. His strong serve and excellent baseline play make him one of the best players on the planet. Thanks to these components, Sasha feels great on any surface.
Current indicators in the tour
The world's fourth racket has won 21 of 28 matches on hard courts this season. Last season, Zverev reached the semifinals in Cincinnati, and became the champion in 2021. Alexander is performing well in this tournament.
Interesting facts for betting
As a rule, Zverev tries to kill his opponent morally at the start of the match. Because of this, the first sets in Alexander's matches very often end quickly. For example, this was the case in 3 of the 4 previous meetings, where the first set did not have more than nine games.
Current form
Due to injury, Carreno-Busta missed a significant part of the season, so he dropped to the sixth hundred in the world rankings. So far, the Spaniard has not managed to regain his former playing form and he looks very insecure. Although, in the first two matches in Cincinnati, he beat Sebastian Korda and Max Purcell.
Professional qualities
After the injury, the Spaniard's forehand is not what it used to be. Its strength has diminished significantly, so Pablo is increasingly focusing on technique. So far, this has not paid off much.
Current indicators in the tour
Carreno Busta returned to the tour only at the end of May. He has now played only nine matches, in which he has won four. In the world rankings, Pablo is ranked 511th.
Interesting facts for betting
Carreno Busta has struggled against Zverev and has lost all four fights to the German. Moreover, three of them ended in a clean sweep for the Spaniard.

1.69Tip and bets
Last week in Montreal, Carreno Busta lost by eight games to Holger Rune. It is likely that something similar will happen against Zverev. The German is here to defend his semi-final last year, so he will be very motivated. In addition, he regularly beats the Spaniard easily.
