The ITF M15 Heraklion tournament takes place in Greece, and in this analysis I will detail the first round match between Vasil Kirkov and Lucas Catarina, and I will conclude with the related bet.
Heraklion is a town of 211,000 inhabitants, being the 4th largest city in Greece.
This tournament is small, $ 15,000, so the minimum value allowed by the International Tennis Federation at this level.
The host is the Lyttos Beach Tennis Academy complex, which features indoor, fast-paced indoor courts.
The competition table includes Denolly, Choinski, Catarina or Acosta.

Vasil Kirkov: Team form, news and statistics

Vasil Kirkov is a 21-year-old American, ranked 575th in the ATP.
And Kirkov is a solid tennis player, who is very close to entering the top 500 ATP for the first time, which will most likely happen early next year.
Vasil is talented, even having a title in his record, last year in Cancun.
But now he is in fairly modest form, having many clear defeats lately.
In 2019 he has the quarterfinals at ITF M15 Arcadia, the quarterfinals at ITF M15 Sozopol, the quarterfinals at ITF M15 Orlando, the semifinals at ITF M15 Heraklion and the title at ITF M15 Cancun.
And in 2020 he has the semifinals at ITF M15 Cancun, the quarterfinals at ITF M15-2 Cancun, the semifinals at ITF M15 Heraklion, the quarterfinals at ITF M15-2 Heraklion, the quarterfinals at ITF M15-3 Heraklion and the quarterfinals at ITF M15-4 Heraklion.
Quite a weak form for Vasil, coming after defeats with Virtanen (607th place ATP) and Shimabukuro (464th place ATP).

Lucas Catarina: Team form, news and statistics

Lucas Catarina is a 24-year-old Monegasque, ranked 433rd in the ATP.
And Catarina is one of the good athletes on the ITF circuit, he actually plays quite often in challenger tournaments, even in ATP tournaments. He was thus invited to the Monte Carlo Masters, where he had the most important victory of his career, passing Raonic.
Since then, he has not evolved as expected, remaining a solid tennis player, who represents his country in the Davis Cup and who occasionally achieves positive results.
In 2019 she has the title at ITF M15 Monastir, quarterfinals at ITF M15 Veigy Foncenex, semifinals at ITF M15-2 Monastir, semifinals at ITF M25 Aktobe, quarterfinals at ITF M15 Tabarka, quarterfinals at ITF M15 Harare, semifinals at ITF M15-2 Harare, quarterfinals at ITF M15 Pajulahti, semifinals at ITF M15 Getafe Madrid and semifinals at ITF M15 Heraklion.
And in 2020 it has a title at ITF M15 Monastir, a title at ITF M15-2 Monastir, a final at ITF M15 Heraklion, a semifinal at ITF M15 Sintra, a title at ITF M15 Castelo Branco, a final at ITF M15-2 Heraklion and a final at ITF M15- 3 Heraklion.
Catarina has been in top form in recent weeks, having two finals, both lost to Furness (491st ATP). But the matches were good, going in 3 sets.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Vasil Kirkov vs Lucas Catarina Bridge

Lucas Catarina is one of the best tennis players on the ITF circuit, in addition he is in top shape, coming after two finals in this complex.
He lost them both, each time being defeated by Furness, but playing constantly well. Vasil Kirkov is also an interesting tennis player, who defeated his opponent quite clearly in the only direct match.
But then the form of the two was reversed, Kirkov now coming after some modest matches, for example with Virtanen winning only 4 games.
So I think that Lucas will prevail, my prediction going on his victory at a odds offered by Betano.
