Command Analysis
Rinky Hijikata
AustraliaCurrent form
Hijikata reached the second round of the competition in Dallas, beating Adrian Mannarino (7-5, 6-3). In a duel against the Frenchman, Rinky made five aces, made two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. The Australians have five wins and five losses this season.
Professional qualities
Hijikata is hardly a universal player. He focuses on hardball tournaments, while his results on clay, grass and in the halls are far from stable. The Australian has several weaknesses: the lack of a powerful serve, which leads to frequent lost games under pressure, as well as a limited style of play. He acts primarily in a positional manner and needs a greater variety of tactical decisions.
Current indicators in the tour
Hijikata is the 73rd racket of the world. The Australian once held the 62nd place in the world ranking. Rinky has ten titles in his career, the last of which he won last season on the open hard court in Playford.
Interesting facts for betting
Hijikata has scored just one victory in his last nine matches against top 40 players in the world rankings.
Tomas Machac
Czech RepublicCurrent form
Makhach started the tournament in Dallas with a convincing victory over Kei Nishikori (6-2, 6-2). In a confrontation with a Japanese tennis player, Tomas made seven aces, made four break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. It was the Czech's sixth win this season in nine matches.
Professional qualities
Makhach is in the prime of his life. Last year, he won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics in mixed doubles with Katerina Sinyakova, and in singles he is gradually gaining a foothold at a higher level. The Czech is increasingly advancing to the later stages of ATP tournaments, and although he is still short of titles, success is only a matter of time. His main strength is balance. He acts confidently in draws, is stable in strikes and is able to adapt to different styles of opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Makhach is the 25th racket of the world. This is his highest position in the world ranking. The Czech has won ten trophies in his career. He won his last title on indoor hard court in Muiron-les-Captifes in 2023.
Interesting facts for betting
Makhach has won 20 of the last 25 matches against tennis players outside the top 50 in the world rankings.
