Tennis tips today – Matches today from 21.07.2024
Final day on the ATP Tour. The focus for us is of course on the final in Hamburg. Alexander Zverev is on the verge of successfully defending his title. Pedro Martinez didn’t cause him any problems, the German won easily in two sets
Ahead of the Olympic Games, he can further boost his confidence with the winner’s trophy in his home country and he will face an opponent he has already played twice and won twice, including in the semi-finals at the Hamburg Open last year.
The tennis Sunday opens with the match between Matteo Berrettini and Quentin Halys. The Italian can clinch his second title win in 2024, his third appearance in the final this year, but Halys has been in good form of late.
Rafael Nadal can bag his first triumph since the 2022 French Open. He already won in Bastad, Sweden, in 2005 and today he has to beat Nuno Borges, who could win his first ever ATP title. Nadal has 92 winners’ trophies in his cabinet
Tennis tips today – 21.07.2024
It remains the case that the tournament in Hamburg and Zverev have developed into a great love affair. Last year, he didn’t drop a set until the title and was able to avoid the tiebreak. In 2024, he also rolled over the field of participants.
6-2, 6-2 against Jesper de Jong, 6-4, 6-3 against Zhizhen Zhang and a 6-2, 6-4 against Pedro Martinez. Only Hugo Gaston, with his speed and wit, was able to stand up to the two-time ATP Finals champion. At the same time, the German had one of his somewhat poorer days with more mistakes in the match.
Even though there wasn’t the strongest field of participants in Hamburg, the performances are definitely a challenge to the competition for the upcoming Olympic Games. From July 27 to August 4, the tennis competitions will be held at the Roland Garros facility.
Not only Zverev knows what it feels like to have a gold medal around his neck, but also Nadal, who won the singles in Beijing in 2008 and the doubles with Marc Lopez in 2016. 2024 will see the mega pairing of Nadal/Alcaraz! On Sunday afternoon, Nadal first wants to clinch the Bastad title against a motivated Borges

Tennis tips today 21.07.: Berrettini – Halys (11:30 am)
Berrettini is about to win his second title this year. Halys wants to challenge him for it. The Frenchman beat Jan-Lennard Struff in the semi-finals, the first time he has lost to a player ranked below him since February. Halys’ form curve is pointing steeply upwards.
In Wimbledon, he only narrowly lost to Holger Rune and had previously beaten Karen Khachanov. In Gstaad, he only dropped one set in total. Apart from Struff, however, there was no opponent from the top 100, with Berrettini setting the bigger exclamation marks with smooth victories over Felix Auger-Aliassime and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Our expert tip: 2:0 Berrettini
Tennis betting today 21.07.: Borges – Nadal (14:00)
The partial early loss of favorites in Bastad has given Borges a comfortable path to the final. He hasn’t met a top 100 player in the entire tournament, and now not even in the final. Nadal is only ranked 261 due to his long injury break. He had a tough last two rounds against Mariano Navone and Duja Ajdukovic.
The Mallorcan conceded 13 breaks in these two matches alone. Borges wants to win his first title on Sunday and will go into the match with full motivation. What’s more, the Portuguese player, who is eleven years younger, has been on court for much less time over the last two days. I’m backing Borges to win the set at Intertops. Paypal deposits are also possible on the site.
Our expert tip: Set win Borges
Tennis betting today 21.07.: Zverev – Fils (15:00)
Zverev and Fils have faced each other twice, twice on German soil. They played out the semi-finals in Hamburg last year, a clear 2:0 victory for the reigning Olympic champion. He is currently showing enormous consistency. He has won nine of his last eleven matches without conceding a break.
Fils came closer to a coup against Zverev this year in Halle on grass, where the 20-year-old took the tie-break of the first set. However, he has not yet been able to take a service game from the Hamburg player. He plays an aggressive game, but still makes a few mistakes and is also more susceptible to his own service returns. The time for the first 500 title may not have come yet.
Our expert tip: Set 1 & Match Zverev
Tennis betting today 21.07.: Michelsen – Giron (20:30)
Two US-Americans among themselves in the final of Newport, there has not yet been a direct duel between 19-year-old Alex Michelsen and 31-year-old Marcos Giron. Like the bookmakers, I think Michelsen is slightly ahead on grass in his current form.
He hasn’t allowed himself any weaknesses so far and has served consistently. But the truth is that he hasn’t played with the crème de la crème of return players. Giron has a lot more to offer. I expect the first match between the two to be a long one.
Our expert tip: Over 21.5 games
