Command Analysis

Thiago Monteiro

Current form
Monteiro was stronger than Valentin Royer (7-6, 6-3) in the semi-finals of the Australian Open qualification. Thiago served 12 aces in the match against the Frenchman, converted one break point and did not lose a single game on his serve. In the first round of the qualification, we recall, the Brazilian beat Jason Kubler.
Professional qualities
Monteiro is a player who is used to being the number one. His style of play is based on a powerful serve and aggressive forehand shots, which he regularly tries to beat his opponents with. However, the Brazilian’s main problem is that these elements work best on slow clay. On hard, his results look much more modest, and he avoids playing indoors altogether.
Current indicators in the tour
Monteiro is close to the top 100 of the world rankings - at 106th place. The Brazilian tennis player was once 61st. During his career, Thiago has won 14 trophies. He won his last one in 2023. Then he won the clay challenger in Campinas, in the final of which he beat Camilo Hugo Carabelli.
Interesting facts for betting
Monteiro's last four matches have ended in straight sets.

Kimmer Coppejans

Current form
Coppejans defeated Valentin Vacherot (6-4, 7-6) in the Australian Open qualification semi-finals. Kimmer served seven aces, converted one break point and did not lose a single game on his serve. In the first round of the qualification, we recall, the Belgian beat Matteo Martino.
Professional qualities
Coppejans is one of those players who does not rely on physical strength, but on fantastic stamina. The Belgian does not have a killer serve or powerful forehand and backhand, but his two-handed backhand is definitely good. Kimmer feels great on clay, but hard is also acceptable for him. Last season, he won four titles on open hard.
Current indicators in the tour
Coppejans was once ranked in the top 100 in the world, but is currently ranked 361st. Kimmer won four trophies last season, winning four futures on outdoor hard courts. Coppejans has 16 career titles.
Interesting facts for betting
Coppejans has suffered only two defeats in his last ten fights.
