Command Analysis

Constant Lestienne

Current form
Lestienne has seven wins and eight losses indoors this season. Constant left the recent tournament in Belgrade following the qualification round - the Frenchman failed to beat Denis Shapovalov in the selection.
Professional qualities
Lestienne is an original and unpredictable player who often uses slices and drop shots, creating unusual situations on the court. His style can be difficult for opponents who focus on power exchanges from the baseline. The Frenchman’s creativity certainly makes him an inconvenient opponent for straightforward tennis players.

Nicolas Moreno

Current form
Moreno won the Matsuyama Challenger title last week, beating Alex Bolt in the final. The US representative has two wins in three indoor matches this season.
Professional qualities
Moreno has a number of strengths and weaknesses. The main weaknesses are instability and a weak return, which reduces his effectiveness in matches against tennis players with powerful serves. But Nicolas compensates for this with an excellent forehand, thanks to which he often earns winners from the back line. He also has a good serve. The American feels confident in his attacking style, but so far he lacks variety in his arsenal of skills for more stable performances at a high level.
Current indicators in the tour
Moreno is currently ranked 110th in the world. The victory at the Challenger in Matsuyama is Nicolas only title this season. The American has won six trophies in his career, as a reminder.
