Command Analysis
Alexander Shevchenko
KazakhstanCurrent form
Shevchenko has three wins and five losses in the new season. Last week, Alexander took part in a tournament in Delray Beach, where he lost to Michael Mmo in the first round.
Professional qualities
Shevchenko prefers to act as the second number, but if necessary, he is able to go on the attack. His main trump card is his mobility: Alexander easily moves around the court and gets almost any balls. However, the serve in his game remains a weak link that requires serious improvement.
Current indicators in the tour
Shevchenko is currently in 103rd place in the world ranking. During his career, the representative of Kazakhstan won seven trophies. He completed the last one on the ground in Madrid in 2023.
Interesting facts for betting
Shevchenko has lost his last five matches on clay against Brazil.
Felipe Meligeni Alves
BrazilCurrent form
Meligeni has already tested the ground surface this season - he has played five matches on the ground this year, in which he won two victories. Last week, Felipe tried to qualify for the main draw in Buenos Aires, but lost in the second round to Roman Burruchaga.
Professional qualities
Meligeni is a typical challenger–level grounder who relies on playing on the back line. His serve is quite high-quality, which gives him a slight advantage on slow courts. However, he doesn't have any really cool skills in his arsenal, which prevents him from breaking into the top 100. The main problem is the lack of speed.
Current indicators in the tour
Meligeni is ranked outside the top 100 in the world, at 149th place. The Brazilian tennis player has won seven trophies in his career. Two years ago, he won his last trophy, winning the dirt challenger in Lyon.
Interesting facts for betting
The last three matches with Meligeni's participation ended in three games.
