Command Analysis
Dominic Stephan Stricker
SwitzerlandCurrent form
Stricker beat Matteo Berrettini (7-6, 6-4) in the second round of the competition in Stockholm. Dominik served five aces, converted one break point and did not lose a single game on his serve in the match against the Italian. For the Swiss, this was the third victory in four indoor matches this season.
Professional qualities
Stricker prefers indoor hard courts. He is left-handed, which often becomes a serious advantage, since most of his opponents on the tour are right-handed. Dominik stands out for his powerful serve, as well as his ability to act confidently at the net, which is not so common among young players. In general, he plays in an attacking manner, trying to dominate the court.
Current indicators in the tour
Due to a back injury, Stricker missed the first half of the season. That is why Dominik is currently ranked 317th in the world, although he was once 88th. This year, the Swiss showed his best result at the challenger in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, where he managed to reach the quarterfinals.
