If there is anything like momentum in tennis, then Albert Ramos-Vinolas should take some of it into his final against Dominic Thiem at the Generali Open in Kitzbühel: The Spaniard won his second career title in Gstaad last Sunday in a confident manner , the first dates back to 2016 in Bastad. Ramos-Vinolas had one more match in Kitzbühel than his final opponent - and the first one proved to be the most difficult. The left-hander had to go through three sets against Marton Fucsovics.
Dominic Thiem's 14th career title is up for grabs. And a little Austrian sports history. Thomas Muster was the last local hero to win the title in Kitzbühel in 1993 in a Monday final against Javier Sanchez. Thiem is in a good mood, has not given a sentence in his three appearances so far. The semi-final against Lorenzo Sonego was not easy for the tournament favorite, also because of the difficult external circumstances.
Balanced balance between Thiem and Ramos-Vinolas
Even if Dominic Thiem and Albert Ramos-Vinolas are one-to-one in terms of victories after the previous two games, the Austrian must be considered the favorite for this match. Especially since Thiem won the only encounter on ashes in 2017 in Rio de Janeiro.
The bookmakers at Interwetten have a similar view, offering a 1.3: 1 odds for a Thiem victory. The odds for a success of Albert Ramos-Vinolas is 3.5: 1.
