Command Analysis
Arthur Rinderknech
FranceCurrent form
Rinderknech had 16 wins and 13 losses on open hard courts last season. Arthur played his last match at the Masters in Paris, where he managed to reach the third round - at this stage of the tournament he lost to Grigor Dimitrov.
Professional qualities
Rinderknech is a tall Frenchman who makes the most of his physical gifts. His strength is his powerful first serve, which he uses to win points, whether aces or fast rallies. His strokes rely on an aggressive forehand, which he hits with great power and at sharp angles. However, the problems begin when his serve doesn’t work: a weak return and poor defense make him vulnerable in long rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
Rinderknech is currently ranked 59th in the world. Last season, Arthur managed to add one trophy to his collection. In March, he won the home Challenger in Lille. It was his 11th career title.
Interesting facts for betting
In the second set, 9 of Rinderknech last 10 matches have seen more than 9.5 games played.
Yoshihito Nishioka
JapanCurrent form
Nishioka made it to the main draw of the Brisbane tournament through qualifying. In the qualifying round, the Japanese beat Alex Bolt in two sets, and then he won against Li Tu in three sets.
Professional qualities
Nishioka, despite his modest stature, makes up for his lack of a powerful serve and few winners with excellent technique and footwork. He plays a counter-attacking style, defending aggressively and targeting counters with his stable left-handed forehand. This allows him to draw opponents into longer exchanges where either opponent can run into trouble.
Current indicators in the tour
Nishioka is ranked 69th in the world. Last season, the Japanese player had parity in the game on open hard courts - 15 wins and 15 losses. In July 2024, Yoshihito won the title in Atlanta. This was his third ATP title in his career.
