ATP Tennis Tips: Hamburg/Atlanta/Gstaad – 1st Round (Tue)

ATP Hamburg Tips

Marco Cecchinato v Gael MonfilsCecchinato claimed his second title of 2018 in Umag last week and has now amassed 19 wins on the ATP Tour this year to go with another 19 at Challenger level. As we witnessed at the French Open, he is a clay court specialist! The fact that Novak won Wimbledon makes his win over the Serbia in Paris even more impressive. He should not be outsider in this match and The Wolf says to back him with confidence.
Best Bet: Cecchinato WIN ($2.10)

John Millman v Jan-Lennard StruffAussie John Millman has climbed into the top 50 for the first time in his career. He has claimed multiple titles on the Challenger Tour this year to go with deep runs on the ATP Tour including Budapest. Struff had a career year in 2017 but has failed to replicate that in 2018. He won a couple of 5 set epics at Wimbledon but it is Millman who brings winning form with him to Hamburg.
Best Bet: Millman WIN ($1.95)

ATP Atlanta Tips

Thanasi Kokkinakis v Noah RubinKokkinakis is desperate to improve his ranking in order to avoid having to qualify for ATP Tour 250 level events. He has played more matches in qualifying this year than on the main tour. He cruised through the qualifiers here but his win over Federer in Miami seems a long time ago. It is his return game which concerns The Wolf. His serve makes it tough for his opponents to break him but we see him in tiebreakers far too often. There have been 7 breakers across his last 8 matches making the Overs the best bet for this one.
Best Bet: Over 22.5 games ($1.80)
