Command Analysis
Andrey Rublev
Russian FederationCurrent form
Rublev left the recent Masters in Shanghai rather quickly. In the first round of that competition, Andrey lost to Yakub Menshik. On indoor hard courts, the Russian has had three matches this year, winning two of them.
Professional qualities
Rublev adheres to an aggressive style of play, relying on a strong first serve. In rallies, the Russian prefers to quickly go on the attack, delivering powerful blows from the forehand, which is his main weapon. Among Andrey disadvantages, it is worth highlighting his excessive emotionality - in a fit of aggression, he makes a lot of unforced errors.
Current indicators in the tour
Rublev is ranked seventh in the world. This season, the Russian has won two trophies. He won the Hong Kong Open Hard Court and the Clay Masters in Madrid. Andrey now has 16 ATP titles won in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Rublev has just one shutout win in his last nine matches.
Alexandre Muller
FranceCurrent form
In the first round of the competition in Stockholm, Muller beat Leo Borg in two sets (6-3, 7-6). In the match against the Swedish tennis player, Alexander made four aces, converted three break points and lost one game on his serve. For the Frenchman, this was the second victory indoors this season with one defeat.
Professional qualities
Müller does not have natural strength and rarely earns points with winners. However, his play on the baseline is quite competent, which allows him to force opponents to make mistakes, both unforced and positional. Alexander skillfully uses counterattacks, can receive strong serves and prolong rallies, successfully using shortened and sliced shots.
Current indicators in the tour
Muller currently occupies his highest position in the world rankings - he is in 70th place. This season, Alexander managed to put one trophy in his piggy bank - he won the clay challenger in San Marino. The Frenchman has ten trophies in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Muller has only lost one clean sheet in four matches against world top-10 players this year.
