Prediction for the ATP Washington match, which will take place on July 31st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Maxime Cressy

After a disappointing grass part of the season, Cressey managed to play two matches on a hard court, specifically at the tournament in Atlanta. Notably, in Georgia, Cressey performed against his compatriots, Mikkelsen and Wolf. Cressey defeated the former in two sets and lost to the latter in two sets. Overall, in 2023, Cressey played 28 matches on all surfaces, of which he lost 19. To put it mildly, the statistics do not favor the American.

Alexander Shevchenko

After the unsuccessful Wimbledon, Shevchenko participated in two clay tournaments. In Bastad, the Russian beat Cherundolo but lost to Casper Ruud. In Umag, Shevchenko was weaker than Italian Cecchinato, losing to him in three games. His stats have not been good lately either; overall, Oleksandr has played 49 matches this season, winning 27 with 22 defeats.

Expert Betting Tips

Both tennis players have had problems with results recently and generally during the season. However, Maxime still has an advantage. Firstly, he plays in his country. Secondly, he has already had two matches on the hard court, although not very successful, but still. In the third place, Shevchenko played on Umag courts last week, and it's hard to say whether the Russian has had time to adapt to the time zone and the new surface. Only the match will answer these questions. We choose the side of Cressey, who will be closer to victory than his opponent.
