Tsitsipas vs Fognini: prediction for the ATP Gstaad match

2024-07-19 08:00

ATP Gstaad

odds 1.80

Tsitsipas has won 17 out of 21 matches on clay this year. Fognini hasn't won in three consecutive matches since the April tournament in Marrakech. All four of their previous encounters have ended in victories for the Greek.

Stefanos Tsitsipas

In the world rankings, Tsitsipas has dropped to 12th place, so he came to Gstaad to improve his situation. The level of competition here is not the highest, and the Greek tennis player can reasonably expect success.

Tsitsipas skipped the first round and faced Hamad Medjedovic in the second round. He had no serious problems in that match, winning 7-6, 6-3.

Fabio Fognini

Recently, Fognini has not been pleasing his fans with successful play. Typically, the Italian was eliminated in the early stages of tournaments, so reaching the quarterfinals can be considered an achievement.

Despite the fact that his opponents were not of the highest level, he struggled to defeat them. For example, in the previous match against Juan Pablo Varillas, he needed three sets to win.

Prediction

Our expert pick: In their previous head-to-head match, Tsitsipas defeated Fognini by a margin of nine games. The same scenario could repeat, as the Italian is currently struggling to perform at the highest level. Fabio lacks the physical condition. Because of this, we do not believe in his chances.

Our prediction is Tsitsipas with a handicap of (-5) games at 1.80.

It is unlikely that Fognini will be able to put up a fight against Tsitsipas. The Greek will likely finish the match quickly, so it shouldn't be a high-scoring affair.

Prediction: Total games under 21.5 at 1.60.
