Command Analysis
Tomas Etcheverry
ArgentinaCurrent form
Etcheverry took part in the tournament in Basel last week. In that competition, Thomas lost to Ben Shelton in the first round. Before that, the Argentinean left the tournament in Antwerp in the second round, which was also held indoors.
Professional qualities
Etcheverry is a typical representative of the clay style, although in recent years he has gradually expanded his experience on other surfaces. Performances on hard have become more frequent, and Thomas shows a decent level there. The Argentine has played few matches indoors, but his best result so far is reaching the quarterfinals of the "five hundred" in Basel last season.
Current indicators in the tour
Etcheverry has played in one final this season. On clay, his specialty, he reached the final at the tournament in Lyon, where he lost to Giovanni Mpeshi. The Argentine is currently ranked 36th in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
In 7 of Etcheverry last 10 matches, the first set has seen more than 9.5 games played.
Zhizhen Zhang
ChinaCurrent form
Zhang has won only two of his six indoor matches. Zhichen has failed in his last four tournaments, including the Shanghai Masters and two indoor events in Almaty and Vienna.
Professional qualities
Zhang is a versatile and attacking player with a powerful first serve and consistent hits from both sides. His style allows him to control the pace of the game, but stamina is not his strong point. The Chinese often avoids long rallies and can be lazy in fighting for difficult balls, which sometimes reduces his performance in long matches.
Current indicators in the tour
Zhang is currently ranked 46th in the world. However, the Chinese tennis player results this season are not up to par, so he may soon leave the top 50. Zhizhen has played one final this season - in Hangzhou, he lost to Marin Cilic in the decisive match.
Interesting facts for betting
Zhang losing streak is now five matches.
