Tennis tips today – 10.08.2022
When the match day starts on Wednesday, it will be Jannik Sinner’s turn relatively early. He has to compete with Adrian Mannarino and is the clear favourite of the bookmakers against the Frenchman.
A little later, young Holger Rune also enters the tournament. His performances have fluctuated recently, and there is also more pressure at a Masters. Can Pablo Carreno-Busta spoil his dress rehearsal for the US Open?
Nick Kyrgios won both titles in Washington and has been in top form for months. He keeps climbing in the rankings, but now he already has to play Daniil Medvedev in the 2nd round! Suddenly he too is once again an underdog with the betting companies.
For the two Americans Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe, a healthy self-confidence before the US Open would be immensely important to present themselves strongly to their own audience. On Wednesday, however, there is only a ticket to the next round for one of them.
Marin Cilic is actually at home on grass, but after his recent forced break on Corona, he also wants to convince in Montreal. He faces a really strong opponent early on in Karen Khachanov

Tennis tips today 10.08.: Jannik Sinner – Adrian Mannarino (18:30 Uhr)
How do you get in the best possible mood for the Canada Masters? That’s right, by winning the tournament in Umag and beating Carlos Alcaraz 6-1 twice in the final! Jannik Sinner is in great form at the moment.
In Montreal, he wants to continue to work on his performance in order to finally reach the top four at the following Grand Slam. Only a year ago he disgraced himself at the Canada Masters against James Duckworth in round 1, this time that must not happen.
He is clearly favoured against Adrian Mannarino, leading with odds of 1.15 to 5.00. Two years ago, Sinner won the first and only direct duel outright. How strong is Mannarino at the moment? The 34-year-old was eliminated in his most recent appearance at this Masters against Fabio Fognini, an Italian of all people.
He survived the 2022 qualifiers with great difficulty, but in the main draw he defeated compatriot Arthur Rinderknecht straight 6-3, 6-3. After all, he did manage a quarter-final at the Atlanta Open a few weeks ago.
Our expert tip: 2:0 Sinner
Tennis tips today 10.08.: Holger Rune – Pablo Carreno-Busta (18:30)
In record time Holger Rune has stormed to No. 26 in the world, was considered a new prodigy. Since his quarter-final at the French Open, however, the 19-year-old has been learning the dark side of his sport, hardly ever winning.
His only victory came against Benoit Paire at the Citi Open, followed by another end of the line against J.J. Wolf. Nevertheless, in Montreal, where he is playing his first Masters, he got through the first round with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Fabio Fognini.
He has lost both direct duels against Pablo Carreno-Busta, most recently in Halle a few months ago. With odds of 2.20 to 1.60, he is therefore also slightly behind. The experienced Spaniard has already caused a sensation in Canada.
In round 1, he knocked Matteo Berrettini out of the tournament with a 6-3, 6-2 win and did not surrender a single break chance! Surprising, because before in Hamburg he could not even beat Alex Molcan. Will he make it through the 2nd round in Montreal for the first time?
Our Expert Tip: Win Carreno-Busta
Tennis tips today 10.08.: Daniil Medvedev – Nick Kyrgios (19:00)
It’s a shame that this duel is already upon us in the 2nd round. Nick Kyrgios meets Daniil Medvedev! One is the number 1 and the defending champion, the other has been on top for months and is the double champion of Atlanta.
The bookies are backing Medvedev, albeit narrowly, at 1.50 to 2.50. He triumphed over Kyrgios at the recent Australian Open, but it was relatively close at 7-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. Medvedev finally clinched his first title of 2022 in Los Cabos, not dropping a single set.
This makes him no worse off than Nick Kyrgios, who first won a doubles title after his Wimbledon final and then two in Atlanta. Both are tall, strong on serve and have comeback qualities.
Kyrgios, in contrast to Medvedev, has already started to play in Montreal, he had everything under control in the 6-4, 6-4 against Sebastian Baez. 72% won points on the first serve? By his standards, that was capable of improvement!

Tennis tips today 10.08.: Frances Tiafoe – Taylor Fritz (20:30)
A year ago Reilly Opelka, a US American, was in the final of the Canada Masters, will Taylor Fritz or Frances Tiafoe be able to follow in his footsteps this time? Both will meet directly in the 2nd round on Wednesday.
1.40 to 2.90, it is Fritz who is relatively clearly ahead. He started the tournament with a fighting spirit and a 6-1, 6-3, and had to use only four of his twelve break chances. In Washington, he surprisingly lost early to Daniel Evans, but now his form seems to be right.
It’s hard to believe, but until 2022 he was eliminated in the first round of this Masters every year. When he meets Tiafoe, he takes a 3:1 lead. He also triumphed at this year’s Australian Open, winning 6-4, 6-3, 7-6.
Tiafoe had big problems at the beginning in Montreal, coming to a 6-7, 7-5, 6-3 against Benjamin Bonzi. This was quite surprising, as he had managed to take a set from Nick Kyrgios at the Citi Open before. After two round of 16 finals in a row, Canada should also be a good place for him in 2022.
Our expert tip: 2:1 Tiafoe
Tennis tips today 10.08.: Marin Cilic – Karen Khachanov (21:00)
1,70 at 2,00? With these odds, we can only expect a very close duel between Marin Cilic and Karen Khachanov. The Croatian had to cancel Wimbledon due to Corona, needed a few weeks of recovery afterwards.
Now he is back and beat Borna Coric directly 6-3, 6-2. He already reached the quarter-finals at the Canada Masters in 2008, but can he get that far in 2022? Not if he loses again to Karen Khachanov in the third duel of the year.
The Russian triumphed in Doha as well as in Adelaide, the overall score is now 2:2, which is probably why he is slightly favoured on Wednesday. His 7-6, 5-7, 6-3 win over Francisco Cerundolo in the first round was very hard fought.
At the Citi Open, he had lost early in two tiebreaks to the eventual finalist Yoshihito Nishioka. Four tiebreaks in the last three matches? The almost two-metre tall Khachanov stands for close results.
