LiontipsAlexander Ritshard - Fabio Fognini: prediction and bets on the ATP Madrid match
Command Analysis
Current form
Ritschard has yet to win a single game on clay this season. He left the competition in Houston after the first round, losing to Christian Garin. And last week he lost to Alexander Bublik in the Munich qualifiers.
Professional qualities
Ritschard prefers to play the game at a calm pace, preferring long draws. This approach is especially effective on slow surfaces, where the Swiss has the highest number of meetings in his career. His punches are devoid of force, but they are stable and accurate. Although this season, Alexander has not shown anything outstanding so far, even on his home turf.
Current indicators in the tour
Ritshard is currently ranked 135th in the world, although he was once in the top 100. During his career, the 31-year-old Swiss has won nine trophies, the last of which he scored last season on the clay courts of Lisbon.
Interesting facts for betting
Ritschard has lost his last five matches.
Current form
Fognini has left the last three tournaments following the results of the opening matches. Last week, he took part in the Monte Carlo Masters, during which he lost to Francisco Cherundolo in the first round, managing to take only three games in the confrontation with the Argentine.
Professional qualities
Fognini, with his good coordination and aggressive approach, is able to impose an attacking game. Despite his modest size, the Italian confidently plays both right and left, demonstrating decent power. However, his serve remains a vulnerable spot in his game - it is often accompanied by a large number of double faults. In addition, problems with physical fitness negatively affect Fabio's endurance, which, of course, affects his results - for example, this season Fognini has only one victory in seven matches played.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season, Fognini won the dirt challenger, which took place in Montemara. It was the 20th title of his career for the 37-year-old Italian veteran. Fabio is currently ranked 112th in the world rankings, although he was once the ninth racket of the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Fognini has lost in 6 of the last 7 matches.

2.07Tip and bets
Fognini has a lot of experience playing in major tournaments, but this season the Italian veteran is playing extremely poorly. It seems that Fabio is simply finishing his career and goes to tournaments solely for the prize money. We believe that Ritschard should be preferred in this confrontation.
Our prediction is that Ritschard will win by a factor of 2.05
Bet on the total
Fognini looks extremely weak this season. The Italian cannot even beat opponents who are obviously weaker than him. We believe that the upcoming match will not last long.
The second betting tip is a total of less than 23 games for a coefficient of 1.91
Bet on the first set
In four of Fognini's last five matches, fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming meeting against Ritschard will also start with the grassroots first game.
The betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 1.94
