Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 22 – 1.80.
Khachanov defeated Dere in the only head-to-head encounter. In that match, Karen gave up only five games to Dere. Laslo is not the most experienced player on grass, so in the upcoming match, he will not be able to win a set.
The tennis players met last year on clay and Khachanov won that match in two sets. I think something similar will happen now.
In the first round, Dere faced Henri Squire, whom many had probably never heard of before.
The first six games were played evenly. Right after that, his opponent withdrew.
In general, Dere was lucky to play against the world No. 291 from Germany at the start of the tournament.
He usually plays rarely and not very successfully on grass. His main surface is clay.
Dere has lost nine times in his last ten matches against players with a strong serve.
Khachanov, meanwhile, started with a spectacular win over Aslan Karatsev (6-7, 6-1, 6-2). Although after the first set, which Karen lost on a tie-break, there was a feeling that there was at least one more equally tense set ahead.
However, nothing like that, Khachanov won the second set (6-1), and the third (6-2).
Some important facts: Karen won 83% of points on his first serve and Karatsev also did not have a single break point.
With a game like this, Khachanov could well be in for something serious. By the way, in Halle, he reached the semi-finals once and the quarter-finals on two other occasions.
Khachanov has won five straight matches over lower-ranked opponents.
In 3 of Khachanov’s last 5 matches, less than 9.5 games have been played in the first set. We offer to bet on “1st Set Games – Under 9.5” with the odds of 2.03.
In the last five matches, Dere has played only two tie-breaks. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – No” with the odds of 1.47.
