Game: Filip Krajinovic – Dominic Thiem
Competition: Western & Southern Open
Date: 08/24/2020
Betting Prediction: Thiem -4.5 games
Odds: 1.65
Stake: 7/10 units
At the comeback of the ATP Tour, the tennis pros for the “Western & Southern Open 2020” will not be in Cincinnati, but in New York. The Masters tournament serves as a dress rehearsal for the US Open starting next week. The first round games were played on Saturday and Sunday, and on Monday the top stars will also join the action. Among other things, there will be a duel between Filip Krajinovic and Dominic Thiem.
For example, while Rafael Nadal voluntarily renounced his appearance overseas, this was never an issue with Dominic Thiem. The frequent player could hardly wait to return to competitive tennis and is viewed by many experts as a hot tip for the US Open title.
Due to Nadal’s cancellation, he is in second place at the Masters and will be a big favorite on his return. The best bookmakers offer maximum odds of around 1.15 between Krajinovic and Thiem for the Austrian’s victory.
Tennis fans should definitely save the tennis tip category in their favorites, not only for the Masters tournament, but also for the US Open next week.
Filip Krajinovic – Statistics & Current Form
The 28-year-old Serb is not necessarily known to every tennis fan, although Krajinovic was already ranked 26th in May 2018 and is currently 32nd in the ATP world rankings. This means that he will be able to enjoy a placement at the US Open next week.
Krajinovic is a sand court digger
The Serbian has not yet won an ATP tournament, but he has already won eleven titles at the second-rate Challenger level. What is striking is that he won all titles on the red ashes. It is therefore obvious that Krajinovic is an absolute clay court specialist. This also fits his style of play, as he is an extreme fighter, but does not necessarily have the winning strokes.
Nonetheless, he reached two of his three ATP finals on indoor hard courts. He only missed the greatest success of his career in 2017, when he stormed out of qualification to the finals at the Masters in Paris-Bercy, where he only lost to Jack Sock in three sets.
Troubled performance against qualifier Caruso
During the almost six-month break, Krajinovic also tried to keep in shape with exhibition games. However, a look at his opponents shows that they were mostly second or even third class.
The first appearance against Caruso was therefore a real determination of the position, after all, the Italian came out of the qualification and already had match practice in his legs. A 7: 5 and 6: 4 looks at first glance like a passable performance by the Serb, but he had a lot more trouble than the result suggests.
The Italian had no fewer than 16 breakballs (!), But could only use three of them. Krajinovic was extremely vulnerable, especially over the second serve. Against an outstanding return player like the Austrian, a clear improvement is needed. Otherwise, between Krajinovic and Thiem, not only the tip on the 2-0 for Thiem, but also a clear game handicap will be obvious.

Dominic Thiem – Statistics & current form
At the age of 26, Dominic Thiem is no longer one of the youngsters on the tour. When he used to take every opportunity to play (both singles and doubles), this could still be dismissed with youthful recklessness. But Thiem is a player who needs the matches to find his form.
Frequent Thiem also during the break
For many players there is a very, very big question mark behind their current performance these days. This is by no means the case with Thiem. A look at his body shows that he did not let the fitness sessions slide during the break. Compared to Thiem before the break, he appears much more muscular.
But not only his fitness level is well known, but also his current form. During the break he never missed an opportunity to be able to play. Be it in Berlin, on the controversial Adria Tour or the specially launched “Thiem Seven” tournament series. He presented himself in brilliant form and celebrated no fewer than 16 wins in 17 games. Thiem is absolutely “on fire”; between Krajinovic and Thiem, a prediction for the Austrian is absolutely obvious.
He celebrated his biggest tournament victory on hard court
In his career, Thiem often had to put up with the accusation that he is only considered a “clay court specialist”. However, this thesis can be clearly refuted, after all, he was in the final of the US Open in 2019 and celebrated his greatest tournament success on hard court. In March 2019 he secured his first tournament victory in the 1000 category at the Masters tournament in Indian Wells.
