Etcheverry vs Kokkinakis. ATP Adelaide Match Prediction
Etcheverry and Kokkinakis will meet in the second round of the tournament in Adelaide on January 8. Etcheverry undoubtedly has the potential to demonstrate a decent game on hard, but his natural qualities and playing style are more suitable for clay courts. The high speed of the game and low bounce on hard often put the Argentine in a difficult position. Will Thomas be able to impose a fight on the Australian in the upcoming match? - bets on this match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Tomas Etcheverry
ArgentinaCurrent form
Etcheverry beat Tristan Schoolkate (7-6, 6-3) in the first round of the competition in Adelaide. Thomas hit four aces, converted one break point and did not lose a single game on his serve in the match against the Australian. The Argentine has two wins in three matches this season.
Professional qualities
Etcheverry is a typical representative of the clay school. All his best qualities are revealed to the maximum on slow courts, where the speed of movement allows him to confidently act in defense, and powerful blows help him to consistently win rallies. On clay, the Argentine feels comfortable and regularly achieves good results. However, to progress on fast surfaces, he needs to improve his reception and learn to act more decisively in key moments.
Current indicators in the tour
Etcheverry is ranked 39th in the world. The Argentine tennis player has won eight trophies in his career. He won his last one in 2022, when he won the competition in Concepcion on clay, his specialty.
Interesting facts for betting
Only two of Etcheveria's last 10 matches have gone to three sets.
Thanasi Kokkinakis
AustraliaCurrent form
Kokkinakis beat Yoshihito Nishioka (6-3, 3-6, 6-3) in the first round of the tournament in Adelaide. In the match against the Japanese, Tanashi served 15 aces, converted three break points and lost two games on his serve. For the Australian, this was the first match of the new season.
Professional qualities
Kokkinakis is an experienced player. His main assets are a powerful serve and a deep forehand, which, with proper concentration, allow him to score easy points and take the initiative in rallies. The Australian's weakness is the lack of motivation. Thanasi is not always in a fighting mood, which affects his results.
Current indicators in the tour
Kokkinakis is ranked 77th in the world. His results from last season included victories at the clay court challenger in Sarasota and a victory at the home challenger in Sydney, which was held on an outdoor hard court.

1.51Tip and bets
Etcheverry is occasionally able to put up competitive matches on open hard courts, but he still finds it difficult to play on this surface. After all, clay is closer to the Argentinean's playing style. On hard, the speed is higher and the rebound is lower - Thomas rarely wins in such conditions against more skilled opponents.
Our prediction is Kokkinakis' victory with odds of 1.74
Bet on total
We expect Etcheverry to be a simple challenge for Kokkinakis. On the fast hard courts of Adelaide, Thanasi will have a significant advantage, thanks to which he will secure a confident victory over the Argentine in two sets.
The second betting tip is total under 23 games with odds of 1.94
