Command Analysis

Alexei Popyrin

Current form
Popyrin played in three tournaments in the new season, where he did not win a single victory. In Brisbane, he lost to Matteo Arnaldi in the first round. At the Australian Open, he lost to Corentin Muta at the start. In Rotterdam, Alexey failed to cope with pressure from Jiri Lehechka in the opening match.
Professional qualities
Popyrin prefers to operate from the back line, trying to shoot deep in order to prevent his opponents from completely seizing the initiative. His forehand works best - he actively uses the forehand to run into the right, compensating for a less stable two-handed backhand. However, it is not easy to perform such a maneuver at high speeds.
Current indicators in the tour
Popyrin is currently ranked 27th in the world rankings. Last season, Alexey won the title in Montreal. It was his third ATP title of his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Popyrin is last year's semi-finalist of the Doha competition.

Jack Draper

Current form
Draper has only played an Australian Open this season. At the Australian major, he managed to reach the fourth round, where he could not finish the match against Carlos Alcaraz due to an old hip injury.
Professional qualities
Draper is a tennis player with no obvious weaknesses. He moves perfectly on the court, confidently punches with both hands and, importantly, is already mentally ready for big victories. However, he has two key problems: a lack of variability in the game and a high injury rate, which has repeatedly hampered the British in tournaments.
Current indicators in the tour
Draper is the 16th racket of the world. During his career, the British tennis player has won 14 trophies. He won two of them last year, winning on grass in Stuttgart and winning the indore competition in Vienna.
Interesting facts for betting
The last five matches with Draper's participation turned out to be "riding".

1.72Tip and bets
Popyrin's performance leaves much to be desired this season. He looks almost helpless on the court - he hasn't won a single match in three matches this year. We believe that the Australian is unlikely to be able to face Draper on equal terms in the upcoming match.
Our prediction is that Draper will win with a handicap of (-3) games by a factor of 1.89
Bet on the total
Much of this confrontation will depend on Draper. If the Briton managed to completely heal his problematic hip, then Popyrin has little chance of at least taking the set away from Jack.
The second forecast is a total of less than 23 games for a coefficient of 1.83
Bet on the first set
In three of Draper's last five matches, fewer than 9.5 games were played in the first set. We expect that the upcoming meeting against Popyrin will also begin with the "grassroots" first game.
The forecast is a total of less than 9.5 games in the first set for a coefficient of 2.06
