Dominic Thiem is trying to get in shape through the Challengers. Until recently, Dominic was fighting at the highest level and even won a Grand Slam tournament, but injuries have set him far back. There is a long way to go to the top, but Dominic is still a rather weak player. Facundo Bagnis and Dominic Thiem will face each other in the second round of the Challenger in Salzburg. The game will start on July 8 at 11:00 UK time.

Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-2) for Thiem – 1.95.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Over 22 – 1.80.
Thiem is much higher in class than Bagnis. However, he has been far from optimum playing form lately. Little by little, Thiem is getting his form back. It is likely that he will perform better at the tournament in Salzburg. Dominik has a good chance of getting past Facundo Bagnis.
Thiem doesn’t always have enough stability. Besides, Bagnis is a tough opponent. Facundo can put up a good fight against Thiem.
Last season, Bagnis won the tournament in Salzburg. Then, he defeated Federico Coria (6-4, 3-6, 6-2) in the final. He is the reigning champion and intends to defend his title here.
Facundo is well prepared for the tournament. In the first round, he did not leave a chance for his compatriot Facundo Diaz Acosta. After losing the first round 2-6, Acosta decided not to continue.
Bagnis has not yet lost on the Salzburg courts.
Thiem has fallen to 346th place in the ATP rankings. Now we will not see him at major events for a long time. His level of play is not consistent with such tournaments, so Dominic decided to play on the Challengers.
The former world #3 won his first-round match. In that game, he defeated Filip Misolic (6-4, 7-5).
Thiem has won only 1 of his last 10 matches.
In 3 of Thiem’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with the odds of 1.90.
