Prediction for the ATP London match, which will take place on June 22nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Carlos Alcaraz

The first victory on grass in 2023 was challenging for Carlos. His opponent was the lucky loser, Rinderknech, who replaced Fils. But this loser gave the world number two a real fight. The match lasted two hours and 37 minutes; Alcaraz won 4-6, 7-5, 7-6. He made eight aces on the court and zero double faults winning 75% of his first serve and 52% of his second. Reception stats: 32%/45%, winners/unforced errors 53/5. These nice stats doesn't change the fact that his first win against a far-from-top contender was quite tricky for Carlos.

Jiri Lehecka

London is Lehechka's second grass tournament of the season. Before that, the Czech played two matches in Stuttgart, where he defeated Giron but lost to Tiafoe, the eventual winner. In London, Jiri achieved victory over Davidovich Fokina in two sets. The match against the Spaniard lasted an hour and a half, 7-6, 6-3 in favor of Lehechka. During the game, Jiri fired ten times with one double fault and won 78% of points on the first serve and 62% on the second. Reception stats: 43%/27%, winners/unforced errors 26/9.

Expert Betting Tips

Much of the upcoming game will depend on Carlos, who is of a higher class than Jiri. However, Alcaraz won his first game on grass with difficulty, less decisively than we expected. On the other hand, Jiri played a quality match against Davidovich Fokina. Overall, he has already played three games on grass this season, so the Czech got playing practice. We're on the underdog side. It will be tough to beat the Spaniard, but the Czech will fight him.
