Tennis Prediction Darderi vs Hijikata: Cincinnati

🇺🇸 Cincinnati

🇮🇹 Darderi · 1.59 | 1u**

• The playing conditions are much slower than expected this year in Cincinnati, and I expect Darderi to take advantage of that today.

• 2-1 H2H for the Italian but the last match between the 2 men was won by Hijikata from Australia at Indian Wells after a particularly tense encounter.

• I wasn't necessarily impressed by the Australian's R1 performance, and on the other hand, Darderi seems to be finding more and more stability on the court.

• I expect to see the Italian capable of making his opponent play one more shot, pushing him to make mistakes and physically exhausting him.
