Our tip: Monteiro T. – Machac T.: 2

22.07.2024 16:30

Tomas Machac will have a dress rehearsal for the Paris Games in Umag, Croatia, where he will not have an easy job in the opening round. He will face a very good clay player, Thiago Monteiro. However, if we take a closer look at the Czech tennis player’s performances in clay tournaments, he has lost only to Daniil Medvedev, Casper Ruud and Ben Shelton this season, i.e. players from the absolute top.

Monteiro’s big disadvantage is his erratic performances. Last week in Bastad, he defeated the excellent clay player Casper Ruud in two sets, but then lost sensationally in the quarter-finals to Croatia’s Duj Ajdukovic. This is also why the 30-year-old Brazilian has not been able to hold higher positions in the world rankings for a long time and has never broken into the top 50. This vice has been with him for a long time.

What to bet on:

Tomas Machac may not have it easy in the opening round in Umag, but having grown up playing clay tennis, he has quite effective tennis for this surface. He can beat Monteiro and will advance to the eighth round.

Confidence:

7/10
