Will Marin be able to successfully start in Basel? - the analysis of the match and bets on this meeting are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Marin Cilic
Croatia (Hrvatska)Current form
After his victory in Hangzhou, Cilic played poorly in the next two tournaments. In the first round in Tokyo, he lost to Kei Nishikori, and at the Masters in Shanghai, Marin lost to Arthur Kazo. The Croatian has not played a single match on indoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Cilic powerful serve is one of his main assets. The Croatian is capable of producing aces even on his second serve, which often surprises his opponents. In addition, his forehand is consistently strong and is directed with high spin deep under the baseline, which creates difficulties for opponents. However, the backhand is Marin weak point, and many opponents try to attack his left side.
Current indicators in the tour
In September, Cilic was ranked 477th in the world, but his victory at the tournament in Hangzhou allowed Marin to move up to 202nd place. Let us recall that the Croatian missed most of the tournaments this year due to a knee injury.
Interesting facts for betting

Alejandro Tabilo
ChileCurrent form
Tabilo took part in a tournament in Almaty last week. In that competition, the Chilean managed to overcome only the starting circle - he beat Maximilian Marterer, but then he lost to Gabriel Diallo. On indoor hard courts, Alejandro has one win in three matches this season.
Professional qualities
Tabilo combines elements of aggressive defense in his game. The Chilean often hits from behind the baseline and controls the rally well. Alejandro is left-handed, which makes his serve an additional inconvenience for opponents. He also knows how to receive balls competently and send short shots right from the depth of the court.
