Nadal faced Berankis in Melbourne this season. Nadal won that game in two sets․We believe that the upcoming match will also be dominated by Nadal.
The only head-to-head encounter between the two players ended with Nadal winning in two sets. We expect this match to be short as well.
Berankis had a surprisingly confident first-round win over Sam Querrey (6-4, 7-5, 6-3). Three sets were enough to beat Sam, who reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2017.
Ricardas repeated his best result at Wimbledon. He has never won more than one match here.
Interestingly, Berankis had not played a single match on grass before Wimbledon. What is more, after reaching the Challenger final in Lille, he has only played in two tournaments – in Geneva and at Roland Garros. In both cases, he dropped out after the first round.
Berankis is ranked 106th in the current ATP rankings.
Berankis has lost his last nine matches against the top 10.
Nadal started the tournament with a tough match against Francisco Cerundolo (6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 6-4). After all, it was felt that Rafa had not played on grass for three years.
Although, after the first two sets no one would have dreamed that the intrigue would be rekindled. Not without difficulty, but Rafa took a 2-0 lead in the set. However, after that, his opponent seemed to realise he had nothing to lose and started to play much better.
Tough match, but it’s even good for Rafa because he really needs practice on the grass right now.
Nadal has fifteen straight five-set wins to his credit.
Berankis has played only one tie-break in his last five games. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – No” with the odds of 1.39.
