Sebastian Ofner vs Damir Dzumhur Tips

Ofner's recent form and performance have improved. He provides a strong tackle against good players and therefore is expected to win here, probably 2-0.

The slow conditions in Bastad should suit the crafty Dzumhur (ranked 70) with a head start vs. the more powerful Ofner (ranked 141) at a tournament where a lot of underdogs win. Dzumhur has a habit of blunting big-hitters if they’re not on their game and recently took down big-serving Mpetshi Perricard at Roland Garros, and he beat Mensik on a hard court. There’s little between the pair when it comes to service/return points won totals on clay at the main level this season: Ofner on 101 and Dzumhur 100.3. Dzumhur won their only career meeting comfortably, albeit years ago. Dzumhur will try to make this a scrappy affair, so with the weather set to be cool and rain around, conditions will be slow.
