Does Fabio have a chance to perform well in the main draw of the Masters in Paris? - the analysis of the upcoming match and bets on it are in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Fabio Fognini

Current form
Fognini made it to the main draw of the Paris Masters through qualifying. In the selection, the Italian veteran broke the resistance of Fabian Marozsan and Arthur Cazeau. On indoor hard courts, Fabio has two wins and two losses this year.
Professional qualities
Fognini is known for his spectacular shots from both sides and his ability to alternate between attack and counter-attack. However, he has rarely had success on indoor hard and grass courts, and this is due to his inconsistent serve. It is sometimes not enough even to hold his own serve - there are series of double faults, due to which he easily gives away games.
Current indicators in the tour
Fognini is a former world No. 9, but is currently ranked No. 79. The Italian has played one semi-final this season, reaching this stage on his preferred clay court in San Marino.
Interesting facts for betting
Fognini has suffered just one clean defeat in his last eight indoor matches in Paris.

Alexander Bublik

Current form
Bublik has failed the last three tournaments, putting his racket away after the opening matches. Last week, in the first round in Basel, he lost to Botik Van de Zandschulp. On indoor hard courts, Alexander has won five of seven matches this season.
Professional qualities
Bublik thrives on fast surfaces: his three indoor hard court titles and one on grass are a testament to his aggressive style, which relies on a powerful serve and a dominant forehand. However, towards the end of the season, the Kazakh tennis player has looked tired and out of shape, which has led to a series of failures in recent matches.
Current indicators in the tour
Bublik has won one trophy this season. In the first half of the year, he won indoors in Marseille. It was his fourth ATP title in his career. The Kazakhstani is currently ranked 33rd in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Bublik has won only one game in his last ten matches.
