Maxime Cressy

Current form
Cressey left the Guangzhou Challenger quite quickly last week, losing to Sho Shimabukuro in the first round. The American tennis player has 17 wins and 13 losses on open hard courts this year.
Professional qualities
Cressey is known for his powerful serve, but it does not always benefit him. This season, the American's serve has not worked well. He tries to compensate for this by playing actively in rallies, focusing on the forehand and coming to the net.

Cressey was once ranked 31st in the world, but has noticeably lost his form in recent years and is now ranked 212th. This season, Maxim has reached two semi-finals - in Morelos and at the challenger in Guangzhou.
Interesting facts for betting
In his last five matches on open hard courts, Cressy has played five tiebreaks.

Current form
Uchiyama played in the Guangzhou Challenger last week, where he exited in the first round to Dalibor Svrcina. On outdoor hard courts this season, Yasutaka has a 21-12 record.
Professional qualities
Uchiyama is a typical Challenger-level clay court player who shows good baseline ball control. He has a decent serve, but not the most effective on tour.
