The recommendation is to back the over 21.5 games market. Fans can stream the match live on Stake by registering and funding an account.

Medvedev Still in the Top 10
Daniil Medvedev had a great start to the year, winning titles in Brisbane, Dubai and losing the Indian Wells final. He ended the hard court swing with a 19-5 record.
The Russian failed to get to a final on clay and grass. His return to hard courts failed to yield results, going out early in Toronto, Cincinnati and Winston Salem.
The 30-year-old had a decent start at the US Open but exited in the fourth round. He lost in straight sets to Frances Tiafoe, winning 37% of his 2nd serves and saving 3/8 break points.
Royer Returns to Hangzhou
Valentin Royer lost 10 of his first 12 matches this year. All of his success has been on the Challenger circuit, reaching the final in Oeiras and winning the title in Kingston.
The Frenchman didn’t last long at the US Open, going down in 5 sets to Dalibor Svrcina in the first round.
Royer reached his first and only ATP Tour title in Hangzhou last year, beating Andrey Rublev and Learner Tien before going down to Alexander Bublik.
