Passaro - Basilashvili. Prediction for the Australian Open match

Current form

Basilashvili beat Alibek Kachmazov (7-5, 6-4) in the Australian Open qualification semi-final. Nikolaz hit seven aces, converted three break points and lost one game on his serve in the match against the Russian.

Professional qualities

Basilashvili is a versatile tennis player who feels confident both on clay and hard. His main asset is a powerful forehand, capable of deciding the outcome of rallies in one touch. The Georgian's backhand is also a working tool, although it is inferior in stability. Nikolaz often makes mistakes in key moments, which reduces his chances of winning in tense matches. It is also worth noting his serve, which is not the player's strong point. In recent years, he was forced to adjust his technique due to a hand injury, which affected the effectiveness of this element of the game.

At the end of the year, he won the open hard at the Challenger in Seoul, in the final of which he beat Taro Daniel. Basilashvili has won 21 trophies in his career.
