Command Analysis

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Current form
Tsitsipas defeated Lorenzo Sonego (7-6, 6-3) in the first round of the Dubai competition. In the confrontation with the Italian, Stefanos made three aces, made two break points and lost one game on his serve. It was the fourth victory for the Greek tennis player this season with four defeats.
Professional qualities
Tsitsipas' game is largely limited by the one-handed backhand. This element has been causing him a lot of problems lately, as it leads to a large number of unforced errors, especially when opponents purposefully load the left side of the Greek. But the main problem is that even the Greek's key trump cards – serve and forehand – are unstable at the moment.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season brought Tsitsipas a victory at the dirt Masters in Monte Carlo. It was his 12th ATP title. Stefanos is currently in 11th place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
Tsitsipas has reached the finals the last two times in Dubai.

Karen Khachanov

Current form
Khachanov faced Daniel Evans at the start of the Dubai tournament and beat him in two sets (6-1, 6-3). During the match against the Briton, Karen made five break points and lost one game on his serve. The Russian has three wins and four losses this season.
Professional qualities
Khachanov, despite his impressive size, has good mobility and does not hesitate to participate in protracted sweepstakes from the back line. However, his game is based primarily on serving. In quick exchanges of punches, he tends to immediately go on the attack, which, as a rule, ends with a powerful forehand.
Current indicators in the tour
Khachanov is the former eighth racket of the world, but now he is in the 24th place in the world ranking. During his career, Karen has won seven ATP titles, the last of which he won last season at the Indore in Almaty.
Interesting facts for betting
Khachanov has only one win in his last four matches.

Tsitsipas is not perfect right now. He makes a lot of mistakes, has difficulty holding his serve, and his one-handed backhand remains problematic. Khachanov is not doing well either, but now Karen looks a little more stable than the Greek, so we prefer him in the upcoming match.
