Command Analysis
Stefanos Tsitsipas
GreeceCurrent form
Tsitsipas beat Francisco Cerundolo in three sets (6-3, 6-7, 7-6) in the first round of the competition in Basel. During the match, Stefanos served six aces, converted three break points and lost two games on his serve. For the Greek, this was the third victory indoors this season with one defeat.
Professional qualities
Tsitsipas is one of the most versatile players on tour, capable of performing well on any surface. His aggressive style of play is built around powerful shots from the baseline, and his powerful forehand allows him to finish off opponents after a successful serve. Stefanos' one-handed backhand is not only beautiful, but also incredibly effective.
Current indicators in the tour
Tsitsipas has one trophy to his name this season, winning the clay court Masters in Monte Carlo. It was his 12th ATP title in his career. The former world number three is currently ranked 11th in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
In 8 of Tsitsipas' last 10 matches, the second set went to more than 9.5 games.
Botic van de Zandschulp
NetherlandsCurrent form
Van de Zandschulp advanced to the second round of the competition in Basel on the refusal of Alexander Bublik, who withdrew from the match at 6-3, 4-6, 0-4. In 1 hour and 49 minutes of playing time, Botik served five aces, converted three break points and lost one game on his serve. The representative of the Netherlands has won three indoor matches in five matches this season.
Professional qualities
Van de Zandschulp is versatile, showing good results both from the baseline and when coming to the net, which is especially important on fast courts. With a powerful first serve and a strong forehand with topspin, the Dutchman is capable of playing confidently at a high level. However, his weakness lies in his game from the left side: an uncertain backhand forces him to often use slice shots.
Current indicators in the tour
Van de Zandschulp has not won any trophies this season, but he has played in two finals. He reached the final at the Braunschweig Challenger and did the same at the Lüdenscheid competition. Botic is currently ranked 67th in the world, although he was once ranked 22nd.
Interesting facts for betting
On the courts of Basel, Van de Zandschulp has won seven of nine matches in his career.
