Our tip: Neumayer L. – Forejtek J.: 1

22.03.2024 12:20

Jonáš Forejtek has reached the quarterfinals of the ATP Challenger Tour for the first time since last December. He successfully passed the qualification in Zadar, Croatia and managed two tough three-set matches in the main event. With these relatively decent results, the 421st player in the world will go into Friday’s clash with Austrian Lukas Neumayer, who is ranked 200 places higher in the rankings and will be the paper favourite for the clash.

Forejtek has suffered a lot from health problems in recent years. Whenever he seemed to be finally catching his form, there was always a setback in the form of an injury. Naturally, his form disappeared because of this and the Czech tennis player basically started from scratch all the time. Naturally, this is also reflected in the results, with which the former junior number one is grossly dissatisfied.

Austrian Neumayer will play his second quarter-final in March. The first time he broke into the top eight was on the concrete in Tenerife. Now he is playing on clay, which is even his favourite surface. And this was confirmed in Zadar, where he declined Dominic Thiem 6:2, 6:1 in the eighth round. Although Thiem hasn’t been playing like he used to for a long time (after a wrist injury he lost his biggest weapon, which was his crushing forehand), it was a great scalp for Neumayer.

What to bet on:

Lukas Neumayer managed two matches in Zadar, in which he defeated both of his opponents. Forejtek, on the other hand, had three-set battles and was somewhat lucky to make it through to the quarterfinals. The Austrian tennis player will confirm his role as a slight favourite and advance to the semi-finals.

Confidence:

7/10
