LiontipsNovak vs Molleker. Prediction and bets on the ATP match Szczecin
Command Analysis
Current form
Novak advanced to the second round of the competition in Szczecin thanks to a victory over Tomasz Barketa (6-3, 6-3). Dennis converted three break points during the match against the Pole and did not lose a single game on his serve. On clay, this was the 12th victory for the Austrian this season, with 11 losses.
Professional qualities
Novak has never been known for his consistency in his game, which is why the Austrian has never been in the top 50 of the world rankings. Dennis has a strong serve and a good game on both sides, but this is still not enough for him to compete at a high level. Novak usually loses to tennis players with a higher rating.
Current indicators in the tour
Novak is currently ranked 246 in the world, although he was once ranked 85. This year, the Austrian has been performing relatively well and can boast of five quarterfinals played - he reached this stage twice at the Challenger in Nonthaburi and Oeiras and once in Ostrava.
Interesting facts for betting
Novak played in the final on the courts of Szczecin two years ago.
Current form
Molleker broke the resistance of Albert Ramos-Vinolas (6-2, 7-6) in the first round of the competition in Szczecin. Rudolf made one ace in the match against the Spaniard, converted five break points and lost three games on his serve. For the German, this was his 14th victory on clay court this season, with 17 losses.
Professional qualities
Molleker is a specialist clay court player. He has played the most matches in his career on this surface. The German is quite good in movement and is quite good at holding his own on the baseline - he beat the experienced Ramos-Vinolas in the first round. Rudolf's serve is not particularly dangerous, but can be unpleasant in general, as can his sharp forehand.
Current indicators in the tour
Mollekre is currently ranked 248th in the world. His recent performance in the semi-finals of the clay court challenger in Tulln is worth highlighting from this season's results.
Interesting facts for betting
7 of Molleker's last 10 matches have started with a top-heavy first set.
