Command Analysis
Mattia Bellucci
ItalyCurrent form
Bellucci took part in the Quimper Challenger last week, where he failed to beat Constant Lestienne in the first round. This season Mattia has only one win in four games.
Professional qualities
Bellucci has an impressive arsenal: a good serve, a high level of play on the return thanks to his height and speed. The Italian plays equally confidently on both sides and is not afraid of attacks on the left side of the court. Mattia demonstrates good skill on the baseline. However, his main problem remains mental instability in key moments, which the Italian has been actively working on in recent years.
Current indicators in the tour
Bellucci closes the top 100 of the world ranking. The Italian won his last tournament in 2023 - then he won the challenger in Cassis. In total, Mattia has won nine trophies in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Bellucci last four matches have gone to straight sets.
Lucas Pouille
FranceCurrent form
Pouille played his last match at the Australian Open. In the first round, he met Alexander Zverev, the future finalist of the competition. This season, the Frenchman has one win in three matches.
Professional qualities
Pouille was ranked 10th in the ATP rankings in his prime and remained in the top 20 for more than three years. However, an injury in 2021 temporarily sidelined him and he is now looking to return to his previous level. Luc stands out with his excellent first serve and classic two-handed backhand. Although his speed has decreased somewhat, the Frenchman maintains a high level of return thanks to his technical preparation. He prefers to play on clay courts and indoor conditions, where his style is most effective.
Current indicators in the tour
Pouille was once the world No. 10. However, he is currently ranked No. 103 in the world. The Frenchman has won 12 trophies in his career, five of which are ATP titles. Last year, Lucas won the clay court challenger in Mauthausen and the indoor challenger in Mouiron-le-Captif.
Interesting facts for betting
Pouille has won seven of his last ten matches.
