LiontipsGasquet vs Hassan. Prediction and bets on the ATP match Saint-Tropez
Command Analysis
Current form
Gasquet played successfully at the tournament in Cassis in early September. Richard won that challenger, beating Yuri Rodionov in the final. On open hard courts, the Frenchman has 15 wins and seven losses this season.
Professional qualities
Gasquet is one of the tennis veterans who can be safely called a universal player. He is still physically ready for long rallies, maintaining high endurance on the court. The Frenchman's main weapon is his confident one-handed backhand, which is not inferior to the famous Wawrinka shot. Although Richard has already lost his former speed, he still remains a dangerous opponent, especially on clay courts, where his experience and technique still play a key role.
Current indicators in the tour
Gasquet was once ranked seventh in the world but is now ranked 122. He has one title to his name this season, winning in Cassis last week to take his tally to 29.
Interesting facts for betting
Gasquet's winning streak on outdoor hard courts now stands at five matches.
Current form
Hassan played for Lebanon in the Davis Cup last week, winning both of his matches, beating Alec Backley and Philip Henning. On outdoor hard courts, Benjamin has just three wins and eight losses this season.
Professional qualities
Hassan is a player who prefers slow surfaces, especially clay, where he plays most of his matches at Challenger level. He handles long rallies well, plays confidently on both ends and is capable of the occasional strong serve. However, despite his age, 29, and experience, he is not yet up to the ATP level.
Current indicators in the tour
Hassan is currently ranked 192nd in the world. This season, Benjamin has not won a single trophy. Of the more or less good results, it is worth noting his semi-finals in Girona and Bonn.
Interesting facts for betting
Hassan has a poor record on outdoor hard courts this season, with just three wins in 11 matches.

1.34Tip and bets
As a reminder, Gasquet won the challenger in Cassis in early September. Of course, Richard is currently in excellent shape, but we should not forget that the Frenchman is already 38 years old and it is already difficult for him to physically withstand the high pace of matches. We suggest betting on Hassan's victory with a plus handicap in this confrontation.
Our prediction is Hassan's victory with a handicap of (+4) 1.77
Bet on total
Gasquet is the favourite in this pair, but we don't think that after winning the title in Cassis earlier this month, Richard is fresh and ready for more achievements. We predict that this will be a tough fight for the Frenchman.
The second betting tip is total over 22 games for odds of 1.84
Bet on the first set
Four of Hassan's last five matches have seen the first set go over 9.5 games, so expect Benjamin's upcoming match against Gasquet to start with a top-heavy first set as well.
Betting Tip - total over 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 1.72
