Tennis Tips today – Matches today 12.11.
The second matchday of the “Ilie Nastase Group” is on at the ATP Finals. The losers of the first matchday will start. Daniil Medvedev has to hold his own against Alex de Minaur after his surprisingly clear defeat against Taylor Fritz.
In this duel, it is practically already about remaining in the tournament. Only in the scenario, if all three players lose against Sinner and all others end the group with a victory, could actually reach the next round with a success. But neither De Minaur nor Medvedev want to take that risk.
In recent years, I would have clearly recommended a bet on the Russian. In 2024, however, he has hardly played himself into the spotlight, won no titles and was soundly beaten by Fritz in two sets, 4-6, 3-6. I had expected a closer match, a reflection of a season that has been quite disappointing in sporting terms.
At least by Medvedev’s standards. From the outside, he is still in the top 10 and has reached the Australian Open final and Wimbledon semi-finals. He has been overshadowed by Jannik Sinner, among others, who will also be back on court on Tuesday.
Tennis Tips Today – 12.11.2024
While Medvedev faces another tough task against a strong Alex de Minaur, Sinner is aiming for his 48th hard court victory this season. He has won 47 of his 50 matches – what a record! He is still unbeaten in the hall after six matches.
In addition to the first match in Turin, where the dominator also has a home game, he competed in Rotterdam in the spring and won the final against De Minaur, as he did in Turin. A 2024 reunion is now also on the cards with Fritz.
Sinner has put an end to Fritz’s dream of winning the US Open, at least for this year. In the final in New York, the strong baseline player, who likes to put his opponents under pressure with high-speed serves and hard, flat balls, had no chance.
The two hard court aces have not often faced each other, but we are looking forward to the fourth duel on Tuesday. Fritz Sinner was even able to beat him in 2021. A glimmer of hope for an exciting match? I will give you my assessment and the appropriate odds from Betano and Co. below.

Tennis Tips today 12.11.: Medvedev – De Minaur (14:00)
Medvedev against De Minaur on the big stage, we’ve already had that in the round of 16 matches of New York 2023 and the French Open 2024. On clay, the Australian prevailed in the only duel this year, at the US Open Medvedev.
Both players are strong defensively, but I see Medvedev, who at 1.98 meters brings a clear advantage in terms of the angle of his serve, as having the edge. His second serve, on the other hand, still has room for improvement.
Ultimately, the Russian should get to more free points and find his way into the return game better than against the top server Fritz. Sinner took almost 44 percent of points won by De Minaur on his serve.
In addition, Medvedev, as the 2020 finalist and 2021 US Open champion, also has an advantage in terms of experience. The right odds are waiting at Betano. They now also accept Apple Pay payments.

Tennis Betting Today 12.11.: Sinner – Fritz (20:30 CET)
Nervousness was evident in Fritz in the US Open final. He only found his feet against Sinner in the last set, but still had to congratulate the South Tyrolean on his second Grand Slam title after just three sets. Fritz got off to a good start in the ATP Finals.
He didn’t lose a single service game against Medvedev, got 76 percent of the service points against a good defensive player, played the first serve reliably into the targeted field with 69 percent and scored 34 of 40 points. With this performance, he can at least keep the match close for long stretches.
I don’t expect Sinner to get into the break region often. Fritz won the first duel, and he at least managed to win a set in the second. I expect Fritz, with the tailwind of his victory over Medvedev, to avoid a thrashing.
The sets should take longer. In a not unlikely tiebreak, he could well grab a set.
Our expert tip: Victory Fritz (+4.5 games-HC)
