Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-1) for Kyrgios – 1.90.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 23.5 – 1.90.
The bookmakers give Kyrgios the status of favourite for the meeting. Undoubtedly, he is in good form and is one of the main contenders for the final victory in Stuttgart. However, Murray is also good and he will definitely not be an easy target for Kyrgios in the upcoming match.
Both players have a strong serve, so there is a good chance that they will have a long game. All the more so as both Kyrgios and Murray have already played five tie-breaks in Stuttgart.
Regardless of the outcome of the upcoming match, Murray is the hero of the week.
On Friday, Andy defeated a top-five opponent for the first time since 2016. The former world #1 defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas (7-6, 6-3)
Remarkably, Murray was enough for two sets, and in the first set, he played a set-ball at 5-6. Andy played the second set to perfection. Tsitsipas didn’t have a single break point despite his efforts.
Surely this victory will give Murray confidence that he has a reason to play after a serious injury which forced him to agree to a hip replacement.
Kyrgios, meanwhile, will play in the semi-finals of the ATP grass-court tournament for the first time since 2018.
Nick defeated Marton Fuscovics (7-6, 3-0, Walkover) in the quarter-finals. He took the first set on a tie-break before the Hungarian tennis player withdrew in the second set.
Kyrgios beat Jiri Lehecka (7-6, 6-3) in the first round, then won the second-round game against Nikoloz Basilashvili (6-7, 6-4, 6-3).
Despite the fact that Kyrgios had not played for two months before this, his results are not surprising. With such a serve he will always be a dangerous opponent on grass.
In 4 of Kyrgios’ last 5 matches, more than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Over 9.5” with the odds of 1.32.
Murray has played six tie-breaks in his last five matches․ We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with the odds of 2.18.
