On July 24, Pablo Carreno Busta and Tennys Sandgren face off in the first round of the Olympic Games in Tokyo. Will the Spanish tennis player get an easy victory? Our answer is in the prediction below.

Command Analysis

Pablo Carreno Busta

Last week, Carreno Busta won the tournament in Hamburg. So he probably came to Tokyo in good spirits. Pablo is the only top tennis player in the Spain Olympic team, and he has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders. With the right attitude, Carreno Busta can defeat any opponent, and we expect a successful performance from him at the Olympic Games.

Tennys Sandgren

Sandgren has been very unproductive this season, which is why he lost positions in the ATP world ranking. He is currently ranked 81st, and if he continues to show mediocre results, he might drop out of the top hundred. Although it is worth mentioning that at the beginning of the year Tennys played worse than he does now. At the moment, we can see some positive dynamics in his game and there is hope for his comeback.
