Command Analysis

Francesco Passaro

Current form
Passaro took part in the tournament in Montemar last week. He left that competition at the end of the first round, losing to Nikolay Budkov. On clay this season, the Italian has 32 wins and 18 losses.
Professional qualities
Passaro builds his game on high activity and endurance, compensating for the lack of obvious athleticism with constant movement and tactical preparation. The Italian often uses shortened shots, which are especially effective on clay, and actively uses a powerful forehand, which is his main weapon. Despite the presence of a slice, Francesco uses it quite rarely, relying on an attacking style of play.
Current indicators in the tour
Passaro has won two titles this year. On his specialty clay, he won the challengers in Turin and Genoa. Francesco now has seven career trophies to his name. It should be noted that the Italian is outside the top 100 in the world rankings, at 114th place.
Interesting facts for betting
Passaro has won just one of his last four matches.

Maxime Janvier

Current form
Janvier has won only nine matches on clay this season, losing 15. Last week, Maxime took part in one of the home tournaments, where he beat Enzo Cocaud, but then lost to Mathias Burg.
Professional qualities
Janvier is a typical representative of the clay tennis school, who prefers long rallies from the baseline. His game is simple and predictable, especially on fast surfaces, where he sometimes goes to the net after a successful serve. The Frenchman weaknesses are the lack of a strong serve and a quality return. In addition, Maxim is prone to emotional breakdowns, which often prevents him from concentrating on the game and leads to disputes with the judges.
Current indicators in the tour
Janvier is ranked 263rd in the world. The Frenchman is having a weak season. His best result this year was the semi-final at the Challenger in Savannah, where he lost to Andreas Andrade.
Interesting facts for betting
Janvier was a semi-finalist at last year competition in Maya.

Our prediction is Janvier victory with a handicap of (+4) games at odds of 1.95
Bet on total
The only face-to-face match between the tennis players was played in two sets. Nevertheless, we expect a fight in the upcoming match.

The second forecast is total over 21 games for odds of 1.87
Bet on the first set
Three of Janvier last five matches have seen more than 9.5 games played in the first set. We expect Maxime upcoming match against Passaro to also start with a "top" first set.
