Command Analysis
Tomas Etcheverry
ArgentinaCurrent form
At the start of the new season, Etcheverry took part in the United Cup team competition with the Argentina national team. Thomas played two matches in the group stage - he lost to Alex De Minaur, and then beat Billy Harris. Last season, the Argentine won seven times and lost ten times on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Etcheverry is a typical South American clay court player who is gradually adapting to hard courts. This is largely due to his height, which allows the Argentine to deliver powerful first serves. Thomas also has a strong forehand, but on fast surfaces he has difficulty maintaining a high pace - he often does not have time to adjust to the ball correctly. The Argentine also has a hard time in defense, especially when opponents set a high speed in rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
Etcheverry is ranked 39th in the world. Thomas traditionally played well last season on the specialized clay. It was on this surface that he played his only final last year. He reached the final at the tournament in Lyon - in the decisive match he lost to Giovanni Mpeshi. During his career, it should be noted that the Argentinean has won eight trophies.
Interesting facts for betting
7 of the last 9 matches have ended in two sets.
Tristan Schoolkate
AustraliaCurrent form
Schoolkate took part in the tournament in Brisbane last week. Tristan played in the qualification round of that competition, where he beat James Duckworth, but then lost to Mikhail Kukushkin. On open hard courts last season, the Australian had 38 wins and 24 losses.
Professional qualities
Schoolkate plays most of the season in Asian and American challengers. His playing style is based on a powerful first serve and a quick approach to the net immediately after the ball is put in. In the conditions of modern tennis, such tactics are becoming less relevant, but the Australian still manages to show good results. However, his weak point is the backhand. He often makes mistakes with this shot, which makes him vulnerable in long rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
In the world rankings, Schoolkate is outside the top 100, at 173rd place. During his career, the Australian tennis player has won three trophies, one of which he won last season. Last year, Tristan became the winner of the challenger in Guangzhou, in the final of which he beat Adam Walton.
Interesting facts for betting
Skullcate has only one win in his last five matches.
