Command Analysis
Quentin Halys
FranceCurrent form
Gali was stronger than Yasutaka Uchiyama (6-3, 7-6) in the first round of the Dubai tournament qualification. In the confrontation with the Japanese, Kanten made seven aces, made two break points and lost one game on his serve. On the open hard court, the Frenchman has four wins with three losses this season.
Professional qualities
Gali has an excellent first serve in his arsenal, which often saves him and thanks to which he wins a large number of easy points. The Frenchman makes a good forehand. However, his physical fitness leaves much to be desired, and protracted matches are a problem for him.
Current indicators in the tour
Gali is in the top 100 of the world ranking. He won his last title on the home courts of Blois in 2023. In total, Kanten has won 13 trophies in his career.
Interesting facts for betting

Pavel Kotov
Russian FederationCurrent form
Kotov beat Yosuke Watanuka 6-3, 6-3 in the first round of qualifying in Dubai. Pavel made six aces during the match, made three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the Russian, it was only the third victory this season with five defeats.
Professional qualities
Kotov does not perform well on the hard court, whereas his results are much more stable on the ground and in the gym. The main problems of the Russian are related to the serve, which, although powerful, is unstable — the percentage of hits with the first ball is low. In addition, his movement on the court leaves much to be desired.
Current indicators in the tour
Kotov last won the trophy in 2022, when he won the dirt challenger in San Marino. Pavel has won six trophies in his career. In the world ranking, the Russian is currently in 102nd place.
Interesting facts for betting
Kotov has only three wins in the last ten matches.

2.22Tip and bets
Kotov has not shown anything so far this season. Nevertheless, we believe that it's time for Pavel to get involved in the work, because he is already outside the top 100 of the world ranking. The Russian knows how to beat Gali - three years ago he beat the Frenchman on the indore courts of Forli.
Our forecast is that Kotov will win by a factor of 2.39
