Carballes Baena vs Gombos: who will advance to the semifinal in Bastad?
The 2021 Bastad Open quarterfinal match between Roberto Carballes Baena and Norbert Gombos will take place on Friday, July 16. We have made a prediction for this match, which you can find below.
Command Analysis
Roberto Carballes Baena
SpainCarballes Baena did not perform well last week in Salzburg, where he was knocked out in the second round. It looked like the Spaniard did not take that tournament seriously, because he plays like a different person in Bastad. In the first round, Roberto left no chances for Facundo Bagnis (6-2, 6-4), and in the second, he defeated Fabio Fognini (6-3, 1-6, 6-4).
The best result of the Spaniard in Bastad is the quarterfinals which he reached in 2019. Now Carballes Baena has a chance to improve this achievement.
Norbert Gombos
SlovakiaGombos is not a particularly strong player, so reaching the quarterfinals can already be considered a great achievement for the Slovak. He avoided any formidable opponents, so we are not very surprised to see him in the quarterfinals: in the first round, Norbet defeated Pablo Cuevas (1-6, 7-6, 6-2), and in the second he ousted Emil Ruusuvuori (6-2, 6-4).
We would like to add, that this year Gombos played 22 matches on clay and won 13 of them.
