2.37Tip and bets
Of course, Mickelsen has a higher rating, but tennis is a game where numbers do not always reflect the real balance of power. Bonzi, playing at home with the support of the stands, demonstrates impressive form indoors. His powerful serve and ability to control the game on the baseline make him a dangerous opponent for any tennis player. We believe that the Frenchman has an excellent chance of winning this match.
Our prediction is Bonzi victory with odds of 1.94
Bet on total
Mickelsen has been playing inconsistently at this tournament. Difficult matches with Gasquet and Yunchaokete indicate that the American is experiencing certain difficulties. Bonzi, on the contrary, is showing very reliable tennis and has a powerful serve. There is a high probability that the Frenchman will control the match, but the American will stubbornly resist. As a result, we expect a protracted match with a large number of games played.
The second forecast is total over 23 games for odds of 1.88
Bet on the first set
Three of Bonzi last five matches have seen the first set go to fewer than 9.5 games. Expect Benjamin upcoming matchup against Mickelsen to start with a low first set as well.
