Mochizuki - Sakamoto. ATP Yokkaichi match forecast
Mochizuki and Sakamoto will meet in the semifinals of the tournament in Yokkaichi on November 30. The statistics of the last games of Sakamoto and Mochizuki indicate that we are in for a tough fight. Both tennis players demonstrate a stable game, but neither of them can boast of confident victories in recent matches. What will the upcoming match be like? - bets on this match are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Shintaro Mochizuki
JapanCurrent form
Mochizuki beat Li Tu in three sets (6-4, 1-6, 6-4) in the quarterfinals of the competition in Yokkaichi. Shintaro made two aces, converted three break points and lost three games on his serve in the match against the Australian representative. On open hard courts this season, the Japanese has 19 wins and 21 losses.
Professional qualities
Mochizuki is betting on aggressive tennis. Five years ago, Shintaro was considered one of the most promising Asian players. As the number one junior player, he won Wimbledon, but has not yet managed to achieve significant success on the adult tour. One title in five and a half years is clearly not enough. It is difficult for him to maintain consistency in rallies, and uncertainty about the choice of preferred surface and the weakness of his backhand create additional difficulties.
Current indicators in the tour
Mochizuki will be playing his first semi-final this season. The 21-year-old Japanese is ranked 252nd in the world. Shintaro has only one trophy to his credit in his career - last year he won the tournament in Barletta.
Interesting facts for betting
Mochizuki has played only two three-set matches in his last ten matches.
Rei Sakamoto
JapanCurrent form
Sakamoto broke Kaichi Uchida resistance (6-4, 7-6) in the quarterfinal match at the Yokkaichi Challenger. During the game, Rei made six eiso, converted one break point and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the 18-year-old Japanese, it was his tenth victory on open hard courts this season, with 11 losses.
Professional qualities
Sakamoto is a young tennis player who prefers an attacking style on hard surfaces. He still lacks tactical flexibility, and the number of unforced errors remains high. The 19-year-old Japanese strives to minimize errors by playing in a careful manner. However, his lack of experience prevents him from performing confidently in major tournaments and competing with more experienced opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Sakamoto is just starting his career in professional tennis, so he is currently ranked 769th in the world. The Japanese has not won a single trophy in his career, and his current result in Yokkaichi is his best result so far this season.
Interesting facts for betting
Sakamoto has won 7 of his last 10 matches.
