Cherundolo — Fonseca. Forecast for the ATP Buenos Aires match
Cherundolo and Fonseca will meet in the finals of the tournament in Buenos Aires on February 16. For Cherundolo, the competitions in Buenos Aires are of particular importance. He spent his entire career striving to win this home tournament and was closer than ever to success in 2021, when he reached the final, but was stopped by Schwarzman. Will Francisco be able to win the title this year? - the bets for this final are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Francisco Cerundolo
ArgentinaCurrent form
Cherundolo defeated Pedro Martinez 6-2, 6-4 in the semi-finals of the competition in Buenos Aires. Francisco scored eight aces against the Spaniard, made three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. Earlier, the Argentinian beat Alexander Zverev, Francisco Cerundolo and Luciano Darderi in the tournament bracket.
Professional qualities
Cherundolo is a pronounced groundsman, whose tennis is based on stability and variability. It gives the forehand a high spin, which makes hitting extremely unpleasant for opponents, especially on the dirt. The Argentine moves well on the court, knows how to endure in long draws and effectively uses the topspin, which allows him to dominate the back line. However, his weak spot remains the backhand, which does not always withstand the pressure.
Current indicators in the tour
Cherundolo is the 28th racket of the world at the moment. Last season brought the Argentine victory at the clay tournament in Umaga. For Francisco, it was the 16th trophy of his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Cherundolo has won 24 of 36 matches against Brazilian tennis players in his career.
Joao Fonseca
BrazilCurrent form
Fonseca reached the finals of the Buenos Aires tournament thanks to a strong-willed victory over Laszlo Gyere (7-6, 5-7, 6-1). Joao scored eight aces against the Serbian, made three break points and lost two games on his serve. Earlier, the Brazilian passed Mariano Nakovne, Federico Coria and Thomas Etcheveri in the tournament bracket.
Professional qualities
Fonseca has an amazing forehand that can create problems even for top-level players. However, his chronic pitch problems continue to make themselves felt. The Brazilian has a lot of double faults, which he should work on in the near future if he wants to gain a foothold at least in the top 100 of the world ranking.
Current indicators in the tour
Fonseca won three titles during his career. He won one of them last season, winning a hard-court competition held in Canberra. Joao is currently ranked 99th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Fonseca has eight wins in the last ten matches.
