Command Analysis
David Goffin
BelgiumCurrent form
Goffin did not win a single victory in the new season, although he played in four tournaments. Last week, David took part in the indore competition in Montpellier, where he lost to Aleksandar Kovacevich in the first round.
Professional qualities
Goffin is a versatile player who feels great on the back line. His two-handed backhand is especially reliable, but his serve has remained a weak point throughout his career. David feels confident in the halls, where his strengths are most clearly revealed. In particular, the Belgian moves well on the court, which gives him a noticeable advantage in high-speed play.
Current indicators in the tour
Goffin is ranked 56th in the world rankings, although he was once seventh. Last season, David scored a victory in the grass challenger in Ilkley. It was the 21st title of his career for him.
Interesting facts for betting
Over the past two seasons, Goffin has lost 10 of 13 matches against representatives of the top 20 in the world rankings.
Alex de Minaur
AustraliaCurrent form
De Minaur is showing good results in the new season - he has seven wins in eight matches. Last week, Alex played one match in the Davis Cup, where he confidently dealt with Mikael Finn in two games.
Professional qualities
De Minaur is clearly working to strengthen his game: he has noticeably improved his serve, consistently hitting speeds of 185-190 km/h, began to go to the net more often, and the forehand has gained additional power. However, in general, he still lacks aggression, and his style of play boils down to the basic principle: "knock the ball over the net and wait for the opponent's mistake."
Current indicators in the tour
De Minaur is ranked eighth in the world rankings. During his career, the Australian has won 13 trophies, the last of which he scored last season, winning on grass in 'S-Hertogenbosch.
Interesting facts for betting
De Minaur is a finalist in the Rotterdam competition last year.

1.25Tip and bets
Goffin's current playing conditions leave much to be desired. There were no radical changes in the Belgian's game in Montpellier last week. He makes a lot of mistakes, looks shy and often does not keep up with the dynamics of the draws. David's chances of fighting in the upcoming match look minimal.
Our prediction is that De Minaur will win with a handicap of (-6) games for a coefficient of 2.21
Bet on the total
Goffin and De Minaur had met five times earlier in their careers. Their last head-to-head match took place last season on the courts of Rotterdam and that meeting ended in two sets. We expect a similar scenario in the upcoming match between the tennis players.
The second forecast is a total of less than 20 games for a coefficient of 1.71
Bet on the first set
In three of De Minaur's last five matches, fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming meeting against Goffin will also start with the "grassroots" first party.
The forecast is a total of less than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 1.53
