Command Analysis

Dominik Koepfer

In 2019, Koepfer played great on grass courts. Then he even won the Challenger in Ilkley and reached the quarterfinals in Nottingham. In total, Dominik won 11 of 14 matches on this surface that season.
However, this year, before the start of Wimbledon, the German tennis player didn't give his best performance. In Halle and Stuttgart, he was knocked out in the first round, losing to Alexander Zverev (4-6, 6-3, 3-6) and Yuri Rodionov (6-2, 3-6, 2-6), respectively. But in England, Koepfer played much better and had already managed to defeat Reilly Opelka (6-4, 7-6, 6-2) and Kwon Soon-woo (6-3, 6-7, 7-6, 5-7, 6-3).

Roberto Bautista Agut

Bautista-Agut had a stellar performance at Wimbledon in 2019, when he reached the semifinals. The Spaniard was very close to getting to the final, but he was stopped by Novak Djokovic. Now Roberto is probably striving to repeat his achievement, but so far he looks a bit slow.
There were some problems in the first two matches of Bautista-Agut at this tournament. First, he lost one set to John Millman (6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6), and then almost allowed Miomir Kecmanovic to turn the tide of the match (6-3, 6-3, 6-7, 3-6, 6-3).

Tip and bets
Last year in Hamburg, Bautista-Agut beat Koepfer in three sets. This, by the way, was the only head-to-head match of these tennis players. We believe that this time we can expect something similar. Koepfer is a very tenacious and uncompromising player, especially at Grand Slam tournaments. If Kecmanovic and Millman could win sets from the Spaniard, then Koepfer should, too.
Our prediction is total over 36.5 games
So far, Bautista-Agut does not look very confident at this tournament. The Spaniard constantly has difficulties, and we do not believe in his easy win.
Second prediction - Dominic Koepfer to win with a handicap of (+6) games
