Van Rijthoven played well against Opelka. Tim is showing a great game now, so he has to pass Nikoloz. We think that Tim will get a win.
In Hertogenbosch, Basilashvili defeated Daniil Medvedev and Hugo Gaston with confidence. Tim is now in great playing form. He probably won’t provide many opportunities for Basilashvili.
Basilashvili reached the third round at Wimbledon for the second time in his career. The first time was seven years ago.
The current tournament started for Nikoloz with a tough match against Lukas Rosol (6-7, 7-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3), who led 2-1 in sets, but did not play his best in the deciding sets.
In the second round, Basilashvili defeated Quentin Halys (7-6, -6, 7-5, 7-6). Here, Nikoloz needed only four sets. True, he dropped the second set to 0-6, but the rest of them were very tense and in two cases it came down to a tie-break.
However, Basilashvili proved in any case that he can play successfully not only on hard court but also on grass.
Basilashvili has five wins in nine career meetings on grass as an underdog.
Van Reijthoven had hardly been heard of before this summer, or more precisely, before the tournament in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
Tim, ranked 205th at the time, sensationally won the title. In the semi-finals, Tom defeated Felix Auger Aliassime (6-3, 1-6, 7-6) and in the decisive match, he overpowered Daniil Medvedev (6-4, 6-1).
Van Rijthoven’s victory lifted him by over 100 places to move straight into the main draw at Wimbledon.
Now, perhaps, we can say that the success in Hertogenbosch was not an accident. He started in Wimbledon with a convincing win over Federico Delbonis (7-6, 6-1, 6-2).
In the second round, van Rijthoven beat Reilly Opelka (6-4, 6-7, 7-6, 7-6). Three of the four sets in this match ended in tie-breaks.
Van Rijthoven has won his last seven matches on grass.
In 4 of Van Rijthoven’s last 5 matches, over 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 1.53.
