Meeting for the second time since August of this year, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Aleksandar Kovacevic will clash at the ATP event in Almaty on Tuesday. Having previously reached the final of this event, doing so back in 2022, the Greek player will be hoping for a big week, but to do that, he'll need to first beat a player who came out on top when the pair recently met.
It's quite difficult for us to ignore the fact that Aleksandar Kovacevic defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas as recently as August of this year. On this basis alone, the American appears to deserve more respect from the early betting market, so much so that 'Aleksandar Kovacevic +1.5 Set Handicap' rates as a value selection at odds of +110. Tsitsipas is the player of greater prestige, but he's far from consistent, while he comes here off the back of a loss too.

Our Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Aleksandar Kovacevic Prediction
Stefanos Tsitsipas is heavily favored by the betting market at the time of writing, but let's be honest, the Greek player is far from averse to slipping up in matches of this nature, so he probably doesn't deserve to be such a strong favorite. He lost to Aleksandar Kovacevic as recently as August, while he's not exactly made light work of beating lower-ranked players in straight sets in recent times.
All things considered, the American player looks to have a better chance of, at the very least, avoiding a straight-set defeat than the early odds imply. Anything above -115 offers value for money.
