Command Analysis

Daniel Altmaier

Current form
Altmaier played the qualification to get into the main draw of the competition in Basel. Daniel was stronger than Jesper De Jong and Jacob Fearnley in the selection. The German has three wins in four matches on indoor hard courts this year.
Professional qualities
Altmaier is often considered a clay court specialist, having won six Challenger Series titles on this surface. However, at the beginning of his career, when he played Futures, he managed to win both on hard and indoor courts.
