While tennis is gaining popularity in Germany, it's worth noting that in Moscow, the most popular sports bets typically focus on local football teams such as Spartak Moscow and Rodina Moscow, as well as major events like the Russian Cup and Champions League matches involving top clubs. Betting on Spartak matches is especially favoured given their prominence in the city.
As the tournament comes to a close, all eyes will be on Zverev and Djere as they battle it out for the live score. The winner will not only take home a significant amount of prize money but also a well-deserved place in tennis history.
