Tennis Tips Today – Matches Today 27.04.
New day, new luck in Munich! The BMW Open enters a new day on Wednesday and it’s going to be a very special one. Some top stars have already entered the tournament, but now the absolute top of the world will also start.
Of course, the spectators are waiting most for Alexander Zverev’s first appearance. The Olympic champion is still searching for his top form, what could help more than the support of his own fans?
This much can be revealed already, his first opponent will not be an easy one! Besides Zverev, Casper Ruud will also be serving on Centre Court for the first time, and he is one of the big favourites.
From the German point of view, it is of course very nice that more players have fought their way into the next round. And the audience should know: A year ago, a certain Jan-Lennard Struff even made it to the final!
Tennis Tips Today – 27.04.2022 Preview
With Casper Ruud an absolute top man has entered the BMW Open, nobody expects an early exit. I wonder if his odds of 1.15 to 4.70 against Alex Molan are set too optimistically?
Serbia versus Germany, we come across this constellation often enough in men’s tennis. On Wednesday it refers to the match between Miomir Kecmanovic and Daniel Altmaier. With 1.20 to 4.00, Kecmanovic is clearly in the lead, but is the German without a chance?
1.15 to 5.00, if you only look at the odds before Alexander Zverev’s first duel, you come to the conclusion that there will be a quick German victory. But beware, with Holger Rune the opponent is very unpleasant, Casper Ruud knows that too!
With Cristian Garin, a former champion from Munich is also in the field of participants, but the Chilean is out of form at the moment. As a result, he is offered odds of 1.75 to 2.05 in his duel with Alejandro Tabilo.
A year ago Ilya Ivashka was one of the big surprises at the BMW Open, although not even in the top 100, he threw Alexander Zverev out. Now his tournament begins against Nikolos Bassilashvili, it would be much easier!

Tennis tips today 27.04.: Alex Molcan – Casper Ruud (16:00)
One of the absolute top favourites in Munich continues to search for his form: Casper Ruud is not yet able to convince on clay as usual. The Norwegian will start the tournament on Wednesday and wants to do better than last time.
In Barcelona he was eliminated in the quarter-finals, in Monte Carlo one round earlier. After his defeat in the Miami final, Ruud is having a hard time. Nevertheless, he is clearly ahead against Alex Molcan with odds of 1.15 to 4.70.
Four years ago, the favourite had to abandon the only direct duel so far at 0:1 due to injury. The Slovak, ranked 46th in the world, started the BMW Open with a 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 win over Norbert Gombos.
A few days ago in Marrakech he played big, beating Felix Auger-Aliassime, Botic van de Zandschulp and Laslo Djere. Only David Goffin was able to stop him and thus prevent him from winning the title.
Our expert tip: 2:0 Ruud
Tennis tips today 27.04: Miomir Kecmanovic vs Daniel Altmaier (11:00 a.m.)
The crowd in Munich always likes to see German starters. Daniel Altmaier prevailed in his 1st round match against veteran Philipp Kohlschreiber, winning the match 7-6, 3-6, 6-1. Especially in the last set he was incredibly strong.
He gave his opponent twelve break chances, that has to be different in the round of 16. For the first time he meets Miomir Kecmanovic, he is the clear underdog. Altmaier has only won two matches of a tournament twice this year, but he made it to the final in Phoenix.
Kecmanovic will now meet a German for the second time in Munich, starting with a commanding 6-2, 6-3 win over Max Rehberg. He has reached the quarter-finals five times in a row!
Whether Novak Djokovic in Belgrade or Taylor Fritz in Indian Wells as well as Carlos Alcaraz in Miami, the Serb took a set in each case. Not bad, considering that Fritz and Alcaraz also won the respective Masters in the end.
Our expert tip: Over 2.5 sets
Tennis tips today 27.04: Alexander Zverev – Holger Rune (13:00)
The big title favourite comes from his own country: Alexander Zverev wants to get back the lost ease in Munich. He slowly improved in the last few tournaments and was eliminated in the semi-finals in Monte Carlo.
Consequently, it would now actually be his turn to reach the final. He triumphed at the BMW Open in 2017 and 2018, but also embarrassed himself somewhat in his last two appearances, losing to Ilya Ivashka and Cristian Garin.
He may be clearly favoured in the first duel with Holger Rune, but the Dane is quite on the rise. He won 7-6, 6-4 in the 1st round against Jiri Lehecka, before that in Serbia he won against Cristian Garin.
However, Rune was even better in Monte Carlo, where he lost by a hair’s breadth to Casper Ruud. The right-hander, who is only 18 years old, had already proven where he is heading in 2022 with his tournament victory at the Challenger.
Our Expert Tip: Over 19.5 Games
Tennis tips today 27.04: Alejandro Tabilo – Cristian Garin (12:20pm)
Three years ago, Cristian Garin secured the title at the BMW Open with a victory over Matteo Berrettini. The Chilean would like to repeat this triumph, but he is not in a good mood.
In Houston, he made a name for himself by reaching the semi-finals, but it was the only tournament since the Australian Open in which he made it past the opening hurdle!
Interesting: In Chile he met Alejandro Tabilo and lost outright, so the score in the direct duel is 1-1. His compatriot survived the qualification in Munich, he beat Geoffrey Blancaneaux, but not Jiri Lehecka.
The 24-year-old has already delivered strong tournaments this year, but in Belgrade he went down in the 1st round against Oscar Otte. The bookmakers agree on the Chilean duel: 2.00 to 1.75, it should be close!
