Command Analysis

Zhizhen Zhang

Current form
Last week, Zhang finally managed to demonstrate a series of several victories. In those competitions, Zhizhen managed to reach the quarterfinals. The Chinese tennis player has four wins and six losses this season.
Professional qualities
Zhang prefers hard courts, but his results are unstable on this surface. This season, for example, the Chinese tennis player has won only one victory in five matches played on the open hard court. Zhizhen's main problem in playing on a fast surface is that he can't keep up with the speeds, which leads to a lot of mistakes on his part.
Current indicators in the tour
Zhang is still in the top 50 of the world ranking - he is ranked 49th. During his career, Zhizhen won six trophies, the last of which he decorated in 2023 at the Asian Games.
Interesting facts for betting
Zhang has lost in the second set in 6 of the last 7 matches.

Luca Nardi

Current form
Nardi made his way to the main draw of the Doha competition through qualifying. In the selection, Luca scored two confident victories - he beat Yasutaka Uchiyama and Mikhail Kukushkin with the same score. The Frenchman has 11 wins and five losses this season.
Professional qualities
Nardi is a classic baseliner who relies on endurance. He is capable of exhausting opponents with long draws. The Frenchman is especially effective in playing with a forehand, which is his main weapon. However, his punches lack power — neither the serve nor the punches from both sides have sufficient sharpness. In fast conditions, the Italian successfully opposes mid-level players, but with more aggressive opponents it is more difficult for him.
Current indicators in the tour
Narid won two trophies last season. The Frenchman scored a victory on clay in Naples and a title at the indore competition in Rovereto. He currently has ten career trophies to his credit. Luca is currently in 85th place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
The last four matches involving Nardi were played in two sets.

Zhang is the favorite of the upcoming match, but do not forget that last week, due to an injury, the Chinese tennis player could not finish the quarterfinal match against Bergs in Marseille. Perhaps it is this small injury that will help Nardi pass Zhizhen.
