Command Analysis

Daniel Altmaier

Current form
Altmaier faced Frasnisko Comesana in the first round of the Australian Open and beat him in five sets (6-2, 3-6, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4). Daniel served 13 aces, converted three break points and lost two games on his serve in the match against the Argentine. The German has two wins and three losses on open hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Altmaier is a German tennis player who has been steadily climbing the ranking ladder, focusing on improving his skills every year. His favorite surface is clay, and Daniel has had difficulties with the transition to fast courts. He rarely plays on hard, and his weak serve does not allow him to feel comfortable on fast surfaces. However, Altmaier is confident on the baseline: he has a solid positional game and a dangerous forehand, which can be a decisive factor in long rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
Altmaier was once in the top 50, but is currently ranked outside the top 100 in the world, at 101st place. The German has won 16 trophies in his career, most recently at the 2023 Sarasota Clay Challenger.
Interesting facts for betting
Altmaier has lost 6 of 9 matches against French players in the last year.

Gael Monfils

Current form
In the first round of the Australian Open, Monfils beat Giovanni Mpeshi in five sets (7-6, 6-3, 6-7, 6-7, 6-4). Gael served 18 aces, converted two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. The Frenchman has already won seven of eight matches this season.
Professional qualities
Monfils is one of the most striking and charismatic tennis players of his generation. His style is often called defensive, but Gael is capable of surprising with attacking moves and unconventional shots. The Frenchman is known for his spectacular slices along the line and his signature volleys. Despite his age and injuries, Monfils continues to delight fans with his charisma and unrivaled talent.
