I give my best prediction coming up!<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Nur-Sultan Final Prediction<\/h2>\n<h4>Adrian Mannarino vs John Millman<\/h4>\n<p>Head to Head: 2-0 Millman<\/p>\n<p>Adrian Mannarino has not dropped a set yet this tournament. In the semifinals, he comfortably took down Emil Ruusuvuori 7-5, 6-2 to reach the championship match. Mannarino&#8217;s game is so tough to handle on indoor hard courts. He forces opponents to get down so low to hit groundstrokes with his flat, awkward shots.<\/p>\n<p>John Millman has showed incredible mental fortitude this tournament. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2020\/10\/29\/atp-nur-sultan-quarterfinal-predictions-gerasimov-tiafoe\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Against Tommy Paul<\/a> he had to come back from *2-5 down in the third, two match points down and *0-5 down in the third set tiebreak. Then, in the semifinals against Frances Tiafoe, he recovered from an *0-3 deficit in the third set to win the match 3-6 6-4 6-4.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"U7TmkuVjRV9IEgyPTN3OyQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1229218829\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'U7TmkuVjRV9IEgyPTN3OyQ',sig:'m29Yl2YvI-GOMlgxv0XGhz84yNPzCf9rLexdvArb-r4=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1229218829',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Millman leads the head to head 2-0, with both matches on hard courts. However, the two matches went three sets and their recent match in Cincinnati came down to a third set tiebreak. So, I don&#8217;t put a ton of stock into the fact that Millman leads 2-0, just that it&#8217;s going to be a close match. The indoor conditions favor Mannarino. He makes things so awkward for his opponents and manipulates the ball around the court with such precision.<\/p>\n<p>Millman has also been in a couple very close matches this tournament where he could have lost and also has the added pressure of attempting to win his first ATP Tour title. Mannarino&#8217;s been in dominant form, on the other hand.<\/p>\n<p>Given the slight edge in court conditions and Mannarino&#8217;s form, expect Adrian Mannarino to lift the winner&#8217;s trophy in Nur-Sultan!<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Mannarino in 3<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo from Getty.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adrian Mannarino and John Millman are both one win away from the Nur-Sultan title!
