Command Analysis

Matteo Arnaldi

Current form
Arnaldi tried indoors for the first time this season last week, taking part in the tournament in Basel, where the Italian lost to David Goffin in the first round.
Professional qualities
Arnaldi has improved his game on the open hard courts, where his strong first serve gives him a distinct advantage. However, his second serve remains a weak link in the Italian game, and in fast rallies, as a clay court player, he is not yet able to keep up with the high pace.
Current indicators in the tour
Arnaldi is a clay court player, although this season he has played most of his matches on outdoor hard courts, where, by the way, he demonstrated his best result this year. In August, we recall, Matteo managed to reach the semi-finals at the competition in Montreal. In the world ranking, the Italian tennis player is in 38th place.
Interesting facts for betting
Four of Arnaldi last five matches have ended in three sets.

Holger Rune

Current form
Rune had a pretty good result last week at the indoor tournament in Basel. He reached the quarterfinals of that tournament, where he lost to Giovanni Mpeshi. The Dane has six wins in ten matches indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Rune has the technical skills of a top player and has the potential to reach the top level if he strengthens his mental fortitude. On indoor hard courts, Holger shows consistency with a strong serve and well-placed shots on both sides.
Current indicators in the tour
Rune has not won a single trophy this season, but he has played one final this year - he lost to Grigor Dimitrov on the courts of Brisbane in January. Holger is currently ranked 13th in the world, although he was once the fourth racket in the world.
