D. Džumhur – A. Seppi Preview and Predictions (20.10.2017)

Dzumhur – Seppi – Fourth final match tournament in Moscow will be devoted to the duel between the best Bosnian-Herzegovinian tennis player D. Dzumhura and Italian A. Seppia. Both tennis players beat their opponents in the eighth finals, so Dzumhur was better than Y. Bhambria, while Seppi won P. Kohlschreiber.

D. Dzumhur
This is convincingly the best season of D.Jumhura in his career that lasts from 2011. In addition to having reached its best career rating just over a month ago, which is the 36th position at the ATP rankings, Dzumhur finally managed to win his first ATP trophy. Up to this trophy arrived at the tournament at St. Petersburg, where he reached final victory over F. Fognini in the final match.
According to these results, it is clear that since the beginning of the year, Dzumhur achieved a positive win and defeat ratio of 30:23. We have to be a bit critical because these results could be much better than there were some unexpected defeats from the tennis players who could win at that moment. After winning the title, Dzumhur arrived at the semifinals of the tournament in Shenzhen, where he was stopped by A. Dolgopolov and had a great performance at Winson-Salem where he played the finals in which he was better than R. Bautista-Agut.

A. Seppi

In the last 15 years of professional tennis, the Italian managed to win three ATP titles, the last of which was in 2012, just from the tournament in Moscow. During this year, Seppi played mostly at the Challenger, and at the ATP Tour he scored 16 wins and 17 defeats.
Seppi had the best performance in this calendar year at Australian Open, where he reached the fourth round where after three played tie-breaks was stopped by S. Wawrinke. Thereafter, there was a series of tournaments in which the Seppi competition ended in the first two rounds and the next successful result was the tournament in Antalya where he played semi-finals in which he was better than A. Mannarino.

D. Džumhur – A. Seppi
These two players have so far played two matchmaking matches in which Seppi won both victories. The first match took place this season at the tournament in Sofia, where Seppi celebrated the win with the result (7: 6 3: 6 6: 3) and the second also this season in Lyon (7: 6 6: 4). Of these matches, the game Dzumhura has improved considerably and has produced much better results than Seppia. Bosnian-Herzegovinian tennis player in this match is for a mild favorite, but Seppi is always dangerous and good enough and we expect him to win at least one set.
