Command Analysis

Jesper de Jong

Current form
De Jong advanced to the second round of the tournament in Montpellier after Quentin Galy retired from the match at 6-7, 0-2. Jesper served six aces, converted one break point and did not lose a single game on his serve in the match against the French tennis player. For the representative of the Netherlands, this was the first victory of the new season after three defeats.
Professional qualities
De Jong has a high speed of movement and a great sense of the court, which allows him to catch up with even difficult balls. His main weapon is a sharp forehand, which brings in a lot of points. However, Jesper weak point remains the backhand - this element is clearly inferior in stability to his forehand.
Current indicators in the tour
De Jong is currently ranked 131st in the world. He has never been in the top 100 in his career. Last season, the Dutchman won the clay court challenger in Sassuolo. It was his eighth title in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
De Jong has lost four of his last five matches against the Italians.

Flavio Cobolli

Current form
Kobolli has won two matches out of five matches played in the new season. At the recent Australian Open, everything ended rather quickly for the Italian - in the first round, he lost to Thomas Etcheverry in four sets. Last season, Flavio won three out of five games on indoor hard courts.
Professional qualities
Kobolli is a powerful tennis player who builds his game around the first serve. He relies on fast attacks and prefers to finish rallies in two or three hits. The Italian signature shot is the forehand, and he is also confident at the net. Despite his versatility, Flavio feels especially comfortable on clay, which allows him to fully utilize his best qualities.
Current indicators in the tour
Kobolli is the world 34th-ranked player. He has won three trophies in his career, most recently in 2023, when he won the clay court challenger in Lisbon.
Interesting facts for betting
Kobolli was a quarter-finalist at last year competition in Montpellier.
