Nick Kyrgios vs Laslo Djere Prediction: Bet on a solid win for Nick

Kyrgios' first opponent at the Mallorca tournament will be Laslo Djere. So far, the guys have not met on the court, and bookmakers consider the Australian to be the big favorite for the upcoming game.

Nick Kyrgios current form

The Aussie reached the semi-finals in two tournaments on grass, in Stuttgart and Hull. In Stuttgart, Nick was stronger against Lehecka, Basilashvili, and Fucsovics but lost against Murray. In Halle, the Australian knocked out Altmaier, Tsitsipas, and Carreño-Busta but dropped out in three sets, losing to eventual champion Hurkacz in three sets. The match against the Pole lasted more than two hours. The boys had two tie-breaks, in the second and third sets, both won by Hubert. Overall it's clear that the Australian is in good form, and Nick has said more than once that he likes to play on grass.

Laslo Djere current form

The Serb began his grass season last week with a tournament in Halle and played just one full match against Karen Khachanov. German Squire withdrew in the first round due to an injury back in the first set. And the duel against Khachanov was a two-set game that lasted one hour and 44 minutes. The boys scored a tie-break in the first set. Khachanov won the second game 6-4. Djere served 9 times on the court throughout the game with 4 double faults. Djere won 73% of the points on the first serve and 39% on the second serve. On the receiving end, he had the following statistics: 28%/29%.

Expert Betting Tips

Kyrgios is not always a solid player in tie-breaks. In the semi-final with Hurkacz, for example, the Aussie lost on both tie-breaks, so he will try not to settle more or less against Djere. Kyrgios is the stronger player in terms of practice and skills compared to the Serb, who has played just one full match on grass. We believe Nick will have no problems getting through the first round of the Mallorca tournament. Here are the odds for the game:

• W1+Total Under (22.5) for 1.68;
• Total Under (20.5) for 2.38.
