LiontipsBasilashvili - Shelton: betting tip (cf 1.91) and bets on the ATP Rome match
Command Analysis
Basilashvili won a difficult three-set match at the start of the tournament in Rome in a match against Daniel Merida Aguilar. The 34-year-old Georgian veteran won the first game, allowed the Spaniard to win back, but was stronger in the decisive set (6-4, 2-6, 6-3). Nikolaz scored a great move on clay: earlier on the courts of Rome, he overcame qualifying, where he confidently passed Rinkie Hijikata and snatched a tough strong-willed victory from Elmer Moller.
Shelton stumbled in the second round at the recent Madrid Masters, losing to Dino Prismich. However, earlier this year, the American won the title on clay in Munich. It was his fifth ATP title of his career. Now 23-year-old Ben occupies the sixth place in the world ranking. This year he has six wins on clay with two losses. In Rome, the American's best achievement remains reaching the third round in 2024.

1.77Tip and bets
Shelton feels great on European soil this year, having won the title in Munich, and is rightfully considered the favorite for the upcoming match. However, it is definitely not worth writing off the experienced Basilashvili ahead of time. Nikoloz successfully qualified for the Rome Masters, won the first round match, and has already made his way to the local courts.
On his best day, the Georgian tennis player is able to catch the right game rhythm and beat anyone. Since the match will be played on a slow surface, which partially smooths out the American's advantage in serving power, we believe that Nikoloz will definitely have a chance to at least get a positive head start in this match.
Our betting tip is Basilashvili's victory with a handicap of (+4) games for a coefficient of 1.91
