As we predicted, Stefanos Tsitsipas achieved another solid win in Stockholm. After the Greek knocked out Maxime Cressy, it was the turn of a local player, Mikael Ymer. The match against the Swede lasted an hour and 44 minutes, a 7-5, 6-3 win for the Greek. Stefanos made one ace and two doubles faults, winning 70% of his first serve points and 58% of his second serve points. Tsitsipas was 37%/58% on the receiving end, 27/11 in winners/unforced errors. If the Greek player plays his ball as well as he did against Ymer in the semifinals he'll win another one.
Emil Ruusuvuori
Ruusuvuori can already be called the discovery of the tournament in the Swedish capital. The Finnish tennis player had three matches in Stockholm and did not lose a single set, beating Portuguese Sousa, Czech Lehecka and American Tiafoe. It was hard to predict that Emil would outplay Tiafoe so easily, that match lasted just over an hour, Frances won only three games, 6-1, 6-2 in favor of Ruusuvuori. The Finn served seven doubles faults, won 96% of his first serve points and 50% on his second serve. Ruusuvuori had 42%/57% on the receiving end and 18/4 in winners/unforced errors.
Expert Betting Tips
Ruusuvuori has a good serve, noticeably better than Ymer, so we predict that the Greek will have a harder time in the semifinals than in the quarterfinals against the Swede. However, Tsitsipas has already beaten one player with a strong serve in Stockholm, Maxime Cressy. The matchup between Tsitsipas and the Finn will resemble a clash between the Greek and the American. That is, Stefanos will win in two sets, but at the same time, the guys will break the TO.
