Nikoloz Basilashvili (Geo) vs. Fernando Verdasco (Esp) – Prediction (22.10.2019)

Preview and players comparison.

Nikoloz Basilashvili defeated Fernando Verdasco during his title-winning campaign in Beijing last year, and he is once against favored to win this matchup, considering their form over the last 20 months.

World #26 Nikoloz Basilashvili had entered three indoor hardcourt tournaments on the main tour so far in 2019 and managed to clear the first-round hurdle in two of them — defeated Hyeon Chung in Rotterdam and Yannick Maden in Metz last month. Winning two ATP Tour titles at the tail-end of 2018 season and defending one of them in Hamburg a few months ago helped Nikoloz Basilashvili make his top 20 debut but he finally exited the group after failing to defend the Beijing title a few weeks ago where he lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the second round. The top-ranked Georgian could score only one main draw win in his previous four appearances in Vienna, which came against Tomas Berdych in three sets in 2016.

Fernando Verdasco enters ATP Vienna with a three-match losing streak on his back. The Spaniard has struggled to win matches since Wimbledon (R16) and could win only four of his previous 14 matches on the main tour. Nevertheless, former world #7 Fernando Verdasco would be reasonably confident ahead of this clash as he has got a terrific record in this Austrian indoor hardcourt event, having reached the quarterfinal during his debut campaign in 2008 and semifinal during his second appearance in 2018.
