Command Analysis
Roberto Bautista Agut
SpainCurrent form
Bautista Agut confidently won two sets against Lucas Van Asschem (6-2, 6-1) in the first round of the competition in Antwerp. The Spaniard served five aces during the match, converted four break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. For Roberto, this was the second victory indoors this season in four games.
Professional qualities
Bautista Agut can hardly be called a true all-rounder. Despite the stereotypes about the love of Spaniards for clay, Roberto prefers hard courts, where he achieved his main successes in his career. Roberto often plays on counterattacks, perfectly balancing between attack and defense. He does not have powerful blows in his arsenal, so he relies on a smart game with a minimum of mistakes.
Current indicators in the tour
Bautista Agut is currently ranked 60th in the world, although he was once ranked ninth in the world. This season has been relatively good for the Spaniard, but the only good results that can be highlighted are the quarterfinals in Bordeaux and Mallorca.
Interesting facts for betting
Bautista-Agut have won at least one set in their last 14 matches.
Tomas Etcheverry
ArgentinaCurrent form
Etcheverry beat Richard Gasquet (7-6, 6-4) at the start of the competition in Antwerp. Thomas hit seven aces, converted three break points and lost two games on his serve against the French veteran. It was the Argentine’s first indoor match this season.
Professional qualities
Etcheverry is a typical clay court player in the full sense of the word. He should continue to develop his game on other surfaces, because without a confident game on hard courts you won’t get very far in modern tennis. However, Thomas has his own trump cards that help him on any surface. The Argentine is distinguished by high endurance and readiness for long matches.
Current indicators in the tour
Etcheverry is ranked 35th in the world. This season cannot be called successful for the Argentine. However, it should be noted that in May Thomas played in the final of the clay court competition in Lyon, where he lost to Giovanni Mpeshi in three sets.
Interesting facts for betting
Etcheverry has played five tiebreaks in his last five matches.
