Cressy has been absolutely unhappy on the indoor hard court this season. The American has only had one win in six games played indoors this year. Maxime left the last competition following his opening matches and we believe that he will not stay in Stockholm for long either.
The only head-to-head encounter between Ivashka and Cressy ended in two sets. In that match, Ivashka only gave four games to his opponent. We believe that the upcoming match will also be a quick one.
Ivashka did not have much success in Gijon last week. He made it through just one round, which is no longer a success for some.
In the first match, Ilya barely defeated Feliciano Lopez (6-3, 6-7, 6-4), before losing to Andrey Rublev (3-6, 7-5, 4-6).
However, against Andrey, Ivashka looked very decent. Everything was decided in an extremely tense third set.
In Sofia, Ivashka reached the quarterfinals. Here, he defeated both Mikael Ymer (7-6, 4-6, 7-5) and Grigor Dimitrov (6-3, 7-6). In the next match, he lost to Holger Rune (2-6, 7-5, 4-6).
In the second half of the season so far the main success of Ivashka is reaching the fourth round of the US Open.
Ivashka has played eight times against the Americans this season and has six wins.
Cressy, meanwhile, after winning the tournament in Newport, could only make it past the second round in Winston-Salem.
At the other tournaments, Maxime won at best one match.
For example, in Florence last week, Maxime lost straight away to J.J. Wolf (3-6, 4-6). In Astana, Maxime lost in the first round to Karen Khachanov (4-6, 6-7).
In Tel Aviv, Cressy started with a win over Sebastian Korda (6-4, 6-4), but in the next match, he unexpectedly lost to Constant Lestienne (7-6, 3-6, 6-7).
Cressy has suffered six defeats in his last seven indoor hard-court matches.
In 4 of Cressy’s 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 odds of 1.46.
