Command Analysis

Rinky Hijikata

Hijikata has only one win in six games on clay this season. He won it at the tournament in Houston - in the first round he beat Christopher Eubanks, but then he lost to Brandon Nakashima. In Paris on the clay surface, Rinki was unable to cope with Luciano Darderi in the first round of Roland Garros. Let us recall that the Australian representative is currently ranked 76th in the world.

Daniil Medvedev

Medvedev has won nine matches on clay this year, losing four. At Roland Garros, Daniil managed to reach the fourth round, where he lost to Alex De Minaur. Also on clay this season, the Russian made it to the quarterfinals at the Masters in Madrid. It should be noted that Medvedev has played two finals this year, at the Australian Open and in Indian Wells.
