LiontipsBerrettini - O'Connell prediction and bets on the Dubai ATP match
Command Analysis
Current form
Berrettini beat Gael Monfils 7-5, 6-4 in the first round of the Dubai competition. Matteo made nine aces against the Frenchman, made four break points and lost two games on his serve. The Italian has four wins and four losses this season.
Professional qualities
In fast conditions, Berrettini relies on a powerful serve and a killer forehand. Matteo tries to finish the draws as quickly as possible - he usually plays two or three strokes on his serve. The Italian's weak spot is his backhand. He is not able to punch hard from it, and Berrettini almost always responds to powerful attacks from his opponent on the left with sharp punches.
Current indicators in the tour
Berrettini was once ranked sixth in the world rankings, but now he is in 30th position. Last season, Matteo successfully played on clay tournaments - he became the winner of competitions held in Marrakech, Gstaad and Kitzbuhel. In total, the Italian has won ten ATP titles in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Eight tie-breaks have been played in the last seven matches involving Berrettini.
Current form
O'Connell reached the second round of the competition in Dubai on the refusal of Grigor Dimitrov, who withdrew from the match after losing the first set with a score of 0-6. Christopher made two aces and three break points in 25 minutes of playing time. It was the seventh win for the Australian this season, with four losses.
Professional qualities
O'Connell does not have an enviably powerful serve in his arsenal, but due to his competent direction, he consistently holds his games. In addition, the Australian acts confidently at the reception. In practical jokes, he does not avoid protracted exchanges of blows. Christopher is able to play both from the opponent and the first number.
Current indicators in the tour
O'Connell finished last season with one tournament win - he won the open hard court in Guangzhou. It was the 15th title of his career for the Australian. Christopher is currently ranked 75th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
O'Connell's last six matches ended in two sets.

2.37Tip and bets
Berrettini impresses with his current playing form. Perhaps the Italian was encouraged by his recent victory over Djokovic in Doha. However, you definitely shouldn't underestimate O'Connell. The Australian, although he does not have a crushing serve, is able to keep his games due to the correct direction of the ball's flight. It seems to us that Christopher will be able to at least get a positive head start in the upcoming match.
Our prediction is that O'Connell will win with a handicap of (+3) games by a factor of 2.11
