LiontipsBellucci vs Wu. ATP Yokohama Match Prediction and Betting Tips
Command Analysis
Current form
Bellucci showed a good result last week at the tournament in Kobe. Within the framework of that challenger Mattia managed to reach the semifinals - at this stage he lost to Yuri Rodionov. On open hard courts this season the Italian has 31 wins and 16 losses.
Professional qualities
Bellucci is a representative of the new Italian school of tennis. As a left-hander, he has a certain advantage, especially considering the predominance of right-handers on the tour. However, his height of 178 cm limits his ability to serve, and you can’t expect many aces from him. Mattia compensates for this with quality play on the back line: he confidently pulls out difficult balls, often demonstrating excellent stretching, and competently counterattacks.
Current indicators in the tour
Bellucci is in the bottom 100 of the world rankings. This season, the 23-year-old Italian has not won a single trophy, but has played in two finals. He reached the final at the challenger in Cary, where he lost to Roman Safiullin. And just recently, Mattia played in the final of the challenger in Olbia, where he lost to Martin Landalusa.
Interesting facts for betting
Bellucci has won 7 of his last 10 matches.
Current form
Wu has failed to win his last four tournaments, exiting early. He played last week at the Kobe Challenger, where he hung up his racket in the second round to Yasutaka Uchiyama. On outdoor hard courts this season, Tung-Li has a 31-23 record.
Professional qualities
Wu has a powerful, flat forehand and good footwork at the baseline. His serve and backhand are competitive enough to qualify for a top 100 spot. However, this only applies to a healthy and functional Tung-Li, who has had serious fitness issues in recent seasons.
Current indicators in the tour
Wu is currently ranked outside the top 200 in the world, at 241st place. The 26-year-old Tung-Li has one trophy under his belt this season, winning the Nonthaburi Challenger. It was his fourth title in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Wu reached the quarterfinals on the courts of Yokohama two years ago.

2.52Tip and bets
Wu has failed the last few tournaments, leaving them after the opening matches. We don't think his fate will be any different in Yokohama. He was definitely unlucky with his first-round opponent - Bellucci is in excellent shape at the moment.
Our prediction is a victory for Bellucci with a handicap of (-3) games for a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on total
Bellucci and Wu have already met each other before. Last season, they had a face-to-face match in the Australian Open. That meeting was "low-scoring". We expect that the upcoming match will not go beyond two sets either.
The second forecast is total under 22 games for odds of 1.81
Bet on the first set
Three of Wu last five matches have seen the first set go over 9.5 games, and we expect Tong-Li upcoming match against Bellucci to also start with a top-heavy first set.
Forecast - total over 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 1.71
