LiontipsStefanos Tsitsipas - Sebastian Korda: prediction and bets for the match ATP Barcelona
Command Analysis
Current form
Tsitsipas defeated Reilly Opelka 6-2, 6-2 in the first round of the competition in Barcelona. Stefanos scored two aces, made four break points, and did not lose a single game on his serve. It was the third victory for the Greek on clay this season with one defeat.
Professional qualities
Tsitsipas stands out for its strong and precise delivery. His forehand is considered one of the most dangerous on the tour, while playing on the left raises questions. The Greek's one-handed backhand often lacks stability and depth, which gives rivals the opportunity to dictate terms in the draws. Nevertheless, on clay courts, this flaw in the Greek's game is not so noticeable - more often than not, Stefanos has the opportunity to run under the forehand and launch an attack.

Korda defeated Matteo Arnaldi 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the first round of the Barcelona tournament. Sebastian scored five aces against the Italian, made four break points and lost two games on his serve. The American has one win and one loss on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Korda is a versatile player who feels confident both offensively and defensively. He knows how to vary the tempo, acts effectively at the net and prefers to control the game from the back line. His twisted serve is able to help out in difficult moments. Although Sebastian has no pronounced weaknesses, matches against the ranking leaders are still difficult for him. Well, the American's game on clay courts leaves much to be desired - he feels uncomfortable on this surface.
Current indicators in the tour
Korda is the 24th racket of the world at the moment. During his career, the 24-year-old American has won four titles, including two in the ATP category. Last season, Sebastian won a home tournament in Washington.

2.23Tip and bets
Korda beat Tsitsipas at the Miami Masters this season, and in Barcelona, the Greek has a good opportunity to take revenge for his recent defeats. The ground is Stephanos' element, but the Americans don't feel very comfortable on this surface. Sebastian's attacking potential fades when playing on slow courts, and in long draws he will definitely lose to Tsitsipas.
