Command Analysis

Luciano Darderi

Current form
Dardery is going through hard times now - he has lost six times in a row. The Italian suffered his last defeat at the recent Masters in Shanghai from Fabio Fognini. Luciano has played only one match on indoor hard courts in his career.
Professional qualities
Dardery is primarily a clay court player, although he has shown decent results on hard courts in 2021, albeit at the Challenger level, where the opponents are not so formidable. One of his main weapons is a powerful serve, which, although unstable, can seriously complicate the life of any opponent in certain conditions. The Italian delivers confident and solid strikes on the forehand, but his backhand leaves much to be desired.
Current indicators in the tour
Dardery is in the top 50 of the world rankings and is currently ranked 44th. This season, Luciano played successfully in two clay tournaments - he won the challenger in Perugia and major competitions in Cordoba. For the Italian, this was the first ATP title in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Dardery losing streak is now six games.

Matteo Berrettini

Current form
Berrettini only managed to get through the opening lap at the recent Masters in Shanghai. Matteo beat Christopher O'Connell but then lost to Holger Rune. The Italian has not played a single match indoors this season.
Professional qualities
When Berrettini is at his best, he is undoubtedly one of the best players on tour. Matteo level is astonishingly high, but he has been plagued by injuries in recent years. Fortunately, all of that is behind him, and the Italian can now rely on his strengths. Firstly, he has a great serve. Secondly, he has an impressive forehand: Matteo forehand is extremely dangerous and at the same time stable. However, his weaknesses include his game at the net and a less effective backhand.
Current indicators in the tour
Berrettini has been forced to miss several tournaments due to an ankle injury, which is why the Italian is currently ranked 42nd in the world, although he was once sixth. Matteo has won three trophies this year - he won in Marrakech, Gstaad and Kitzbühel. Berrettini has won ten ATP titles in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Berrettini has won 5 of his last 7 matches.
