Richard Gasquet vs Stefanos Tsitsipas Prediction: It is risky to bet on the favorite

Prediction for the ATP Miami Richard Gasquet vs Stefanos Tsitsipas game which will take place on March 25th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

The Frenchman was quite active in the first part of the season. After the Montpellier, Rotterdam, and Marseille, Gasquet played two matches at Indian Wells and two in Phoenix at Challenger. In California, the Frenchman won Croatian Gojo but lost to Sinner. Richard beat the American in Phoenix but became weaker than Kovacevic. In Miami, Gasquet has already managed to play one match, beating the Australian O'Connell from the tournament in three games 6:4, 3:6, 6:1. During the game, Richard served 9 times with three double faults, won 84% of points on the first serve and 52% on the second. Return statistics: 24%/56%, winners/unforced errors 28/8. Let's pay attention to the statistics of the Frenchman. Everything is okay with Gasquet.

On American soil in 2023, Tsitsipas has played only one game, losing in the second round of Indian Wells to Australian Thompson, as we expected. Almost two weeks have passed since then, and the Greek has improved his shape, but everything is terrible with Tsitsipas' practice, unlike Gasquet. Considering all these facts, it is risky to bet on the favorite in the upcoming game.

Tsitsipas struggles to get in shape after a successful Australian Open, where the Greek reached the final. Two unsuccessful tournaments in Rotterdam and Indian Wells have shown that while betting on the Greek, we need to be extremely careful. In turn, Gasquet, despite his age, keeps in the top 40 of the ATP rankings, has a stable playing practice, and does not just give away success in matches to even more high-status tennis players. We will not be surprised if Gasquet, not a Tsitsipas, goes to the next round of the Masters in Miami.
