Command Analysis

Roberto Carballes Baena

Current form
Carballes-Baena scored five wins with four losses in the new season. Last week, Roberto took part in an indore tournament in Dallas, where he lost to Michael Mmo in the first round.
Professional qualities
Carballes Baena is a classic primer that has achieved the most success on slow surfaces. He prefers positional play from the back line, making minimal mistakes and waiting for the opponent's mistakes. However, on fast surfaces, especially in gyms, his results leave much to be desired. However, in recent years, the Spaniard has significantly improved his hard court game, which makes him more competitive off the court.

Dusan Lajovic

Current form
Lajovic has scored only two wins in six matches this season. He left the last two tournaments following the results of the opening matches. At the Australian Open, Dusan lost to his compatriot Miomir Kechmanovich in the first round.
Professional qualities
Lajovic does not seek to force the game, preferring a measured style. He is reliable in defense and knows how to rock opponents with a forehand, creating comfortable positions for himself in the draws. However, his one-handed backhand is stable only on specialized ground, whereas it often crashes on an open hard drive, which affects the results.
Current indicators in the tour
Lajovic is the 80th racket of the world. The Serbian tennis player was once ranked 23rd in the world rankings. He won his last trophy in 2023 on the clay courts of Banja Luka. In total, Dusan has 14 titles in his career, two of which are in the ATP category.
