At the age of 25, Damir Dzumhur is going through the best moment in his career with an outstanding 18 – 4 record in recent months. Adding to this, Dzumhur already secured his career-high ranking next week with an unprecedented appearance in the top 50. After his recent defeat against Roberto Bautista Agut at the Winston-Salem Open final, Damir is trying to go a step further in St. Petersburg and become the first Bosnian player to win an ATP World Tour title.
Fabio Fognini continues to pursue his first ever title in St. Petersburg. Despite his disappointing 44.07% overall record on Indoor Hard Court, Fognini won 66.67% of the matches played throughout his career in St. Petersburg. Known as one of the most talented players in the biogame, the slow court conditions on this tournament are perfect for Fognini’s game style. Taking a look now at Fabio’s campaign on this event, the Italian reaches this stage of the competition after an outstanding comeback against Bautista Agut.
This will be the 3rd career meeting between these two players with Dzumhur still looking for his first ever win over this opponent.
As the h2h suggests, Fognini is a terrible match-up for the Bosnian. Adding to this, Fabio is by far the more experienced of the two at this level. Having said that, the value is definitely on Fognini’s tennis betting odds to lift the trophy at 18/25 at Pinnacle while Dzumhur is available at 71/100 at BetOnline.
