Dusan Lajovic vs. Dennis Novak: Preview and betting tips

On Thursday, tournament number three Dusan Lajovic will also enter the tournament in Montpellier. His opponent in the semi-finals will be Dennis Novak. Who will enjoy advancing to the quarterfinals?

Dusan Lajovic is a 30-year-old Serbian tennis player. He is ranked 27th in the ATP rankings, which makes him the number three seed in the Montpellier indoor tournament.

At the first Grand Slam tournament of the current season, Lajovic reached the fourth round, where he lost to Alexander Zverev. However, he managed to get past Bublik and Martinez.

His opponent on Thursday will be Austrian Dennis Novak. The compatriot of Dominic Thiem is ranked 102nd in the ATP rankings and defeated Frenchman Simon in the first round of the tournament.

However, he dropped out in the first round at the Australian Open and has not been doing well at indoor tournaments either. He has a negative record of ten wins and eleven losses.

So what should I bet on? I would see the Serbian tennis player as the paper favourite here, although the odds don’t quite match that. The players are separated by more than seventy positions.

The Serbian is known for his patient play with a low number of unforced errors. He also undoubtedly has more experience to his credit.

Dusan Lajovic has also managed to dominate the only mutual match, and that was in 2018 on clay in Kitzbuhel. I expect a similar result on Thursday as well.
