Command Analysis
Rinky Hijikata
AustraliaCurrent form
Hijikata took part in the home challenger in Brisbane last week, during which he managed to overcome only the opening lap - he defeated Hayden Jones, but then lost to James McCabe. Last season at Indore, the Australian had one win in two matches.
Professional qualities
Hijikata is a typical average player of the main round, both in terms of playing level and results. His strengths include a stable first serve and fairly high–quality shots from both sides. However, in matches against stronger opponents, he may lack punching power and tactical thinking.

Hijikata is ranked 73rd in the world rankings. During his career, the Australian tennis player has won ten titles. Last season, he celebrated his victory at the challenger in Playford, which was held on an open hardboard.
Interesting facts for betting
Hijikata has won 16 of the last 20 matches against tennis players outside the top 100.
Adrian Mannarino
FranceCurrent form
Mannarino has played two indoor hard court tournaments this season. At the challenger in Kemper, he lost to Mackenzie McDonald in the first round. In Montpellier, Adrian lost to his compatriot Richard Gasquet at the start. This year, the Frenchman has only one victory in seven fights.
Professional qualities
Mannarino is a tennis player who prefers to play number two. Despite his outward relaxation, his style is based on years of training and well-honed positional play. The Frenchman knows how to adapt to his opponent's style, which makes him an extremely uncomfortable opponent. Nevertheless, it is difficult for him to cope with powerful players from the top 25, but he is able to play on equal terms with the rest.
Current indicators in the tour
Mannarino left the top 100 last season due to poor results and is now in 108th place. Although Adrian once held the 17th position in the world ranking. During his career, the Frenchman has won 25 trophies, five of which are in the ATP category. He won his last title in 2023 on indoor hard court in Sofia.
