Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (+3.5) for Bonzi – 1.77.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22.5 – 1.77.
Tsitsipas finds it difficult to perform on grass. It’s not his surface. He is unlikely to improve his game much at the tournament in Halle. We think he’ll have some problems against Bonzi.
Tsitsipas has lost 5 of his last 7 matches on grass. Bonzi is more likely to put up a fight.
Bonzi played his first matches on grass last week in Stuttgart, where he reached the quarter-finals.
He could have done even better, but he had to withdraw before facing Oscar Otte due to an injury.
Before that, Benjamin beat Feliciano Lopez (6-4, 6-1) and Artur Rinderknech (7-6, 6-2) without dropping a single set.
It is also worth noting that Bonzi won seven of his nine matches on grass last season.
Bonzi has previously played against opponents from the top 50 on five occasions and has only 1 win.
Tsitsipas slipped to sixth place in the rankings last week. This was largely due to the fact that the points for Roland Garros 2021, where he reached the final, were deducted on Monday.
Stefanos could have remained in the top five if he had won the tournament in Stuttgart. However, that goal proved to be out of reach for him.
After beating Dominic Stricker (6-4, 6-1) in the second round, Tsitsipas lost to Andy Murray (6-7, 3-6).
This is absolutely not a case where you can say that Tsitsipas played a bad match. However, it just so happens that Stefanos really lacked the experience of playing on the grass somewhere.
Tsitsipas has successfully overcome the starting round of the last 9 tournaments.
In 3 of Tsitsipas’ 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 1.42.
