Command Analysis

Tomas Etcheverry

Current form

Etcheverry is a classic grounder, which is not surprising considering the South American tennis school. However, his tall stature gives him the advantage of a powerful first serve, which makes him more competitive on fast surfaces. In long draws, he confidently holds the ball, defends well and is able to get difficult shots from opponents without losing stability.

Etcheverry is ranked 44th in the world rankings. His highest position in the world is 27th place. Thomas, 25, has won eight titles in his career. He won his last trophy in 2022 at the clay challenger in Concepcion.
