Command Analysis

Roberto Bautista Agut

Current form
Bautista Agut has not played a single match in the new season. Last year, the Spaniard won 11 times and lost 13 times on open hard courts. Roberto played his last tournament in Metz in November last year - he lost to Benjamin Bonzi in the first round of that competition.
Professional qualities
Bautista Agut is a tennis player whose game is largely dependent on physical condition. His key element of the game is footwork, thanks to which he can defend tenaciously and quickly go on the counterattack. Despite stereotypes, Roberto does not like long, slow rallies and strives to speed up the pace of the game. However, his serve remains a rather average component, and it is often the weak link in his performances.
Current indicators in the tour
Bautista Agut is the world 51st tennis player. The 36-year-old Spaniard was once ranked ninth in the world. Last season, Roberto won the title in Antwerp. In the final of that competition, he beat Jiri Lehecka. It was his 12th ATP title in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Bautista-Agut has won his last two meetings with Davidovich-Fokina.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina

Current form
Davidovich Fokina started the new season at a tournament in Hong Kong, where everything ended very quickly for him. In the first round, Alejandro met Jaume Munyar and lost to him in three games. Last season, on open hard, the Spaniard recorded 13 wins and 12 losses.
Professional qualities
Davidovich-Fokina is a player with a pronounced attacking style. He strives to make each hit as sharp and aggressive as possible, which requires perfect form and excellent preparation. However, maintaining a high level of physical and psychological readiness is constantly difficult, especially on different surfaces. This is why Alejandro often faces a deficit of stable results, especially in major tournaments.
Current indicators in the tour
For Davidovich-Fokina, last season was probably the worst in his career. The 25-year-old Spaniard did not reach any tournaments beyond the quarterfinals last year. The last time Alejandro won a title was in 2019 - then, let us recall, he won the trophy at the Challenger in Liuzhou, China, in the final of which he beat Denis Istomin.
