Command Analysis

Borna Coric

Current form
Coric has only played in the United Cup team competition this season. He beat Felix Auger-Aliassime in the group stage, but then lost to Taylor Fritz. Last season, Borna had eight wins and 13 losses on outdoor hard courts.
Professional qualities
Coric has worked on his game a bit in recent years and has made some progress. He has a solid two-handed backhand, outstanding court movement and a good ability to play grueling rallies from the baseline. Borna serve is not at its best. The same can be said about his forehand, which needs some work.
Current indicators in the tour
Coric is the 87th racket in the world. At one time, the Croatian was in 12th place in the world rankings. Borna won his last tournament in 2022 - he won the hard-court Masters in Cincinnati. In total, the Croatian has won 12 trophies in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Coric plays very well against players who are not in the top 100. Borna has 82 wins in 117 matches in his career.

Cristian Garin

Current form
Garin made it to the Australian Open main draw through qualifying. In the qualifiers, Christian beat Murkel and Hugo Dellien, and also defeated Laszlo Djere. On open hard courts last season, the Chilean had three wins and six losses.
Professional qualities
Garin is a classic representative of the Latin American school of tennis. His element is clay courts, where he feels confident thanks to his stability and ability to hold long rallies. However, Christian has proven that he is capable of showing decent results on fast surfaces. His character and fighting qualities deserve special attention.
Current indicators in the tour
Garin is the world 150th racket, although he was once ranked 17th in the world rankings. During his career, the Chilean tennis player has won 17 trophies, five of which are ATP categories. He won his last title in 2021 on clay in Santiago, where he beat Facundo Bagnis in the final.
