Command Analysis

Jaume Munar

Current Form
Munyar last competed on outdoor hard courts in late August. At that time, he participated in the US Open, where he lost to Gabriel Diallo in the first round. This season, the Spaniard has managed only four wins against eight losses on hard surfaces.
Professional Qualities
Munyar is undeniably talented, but he struggles with consistency. As a clay court specialist, he serves well and strikes the ball powerfully. However, maintaining a high tempo on fast hard courts can be challenging for him. While he has the ability to adapt to hard court play, he lacks the power and agility needed for sustained success on this surface.
Current Tour Statistics
Munyar is ranked 62nd in the world. This year, he predominantly played on clay, where he secured one title. In mid-September, he achieved victory at the Challenger event in Bad Waltersdorf.
Interesting Betting Facts
In his last 11 matches, Munyar has recorded nine victories.

Hugo Gaston

Current Form
Last week, Gaston participated in the tournament in Beijing but exited early, losing in the first round to Jakub Menshik. On outdoor hard courts this season, the French player has recorded five wins against eleven losses.
Professional Qualities
Gaston is relatively short and lacks the power needed for fast surfaces. Although he does have some success on this type of court, he primarily relies on his speed and dynamic play. However, his game can often appear frantic, requiring Hugo to run extensively to win points, which makes his playing style quite taxing.
Tour Performance Metrics
Hugo is currently ranked 77th in the world rankings. This season, he boasts one trophy, having claimed victory in Lyon on his preferred clay surface in June. This marked his eighth career title.
Betting Insights
Gaston is on a six-match losing streak.
