Berrettini-O'Connell. Prediction for the ATP Indian Wells match
Berrettini and O'Connell will face off in the second round of the Indian Wells tournament on March 8. A recent head-to-head match between tennis players in Dubai ended with Berrettini winning in two sets. Will Matteo be able to beat O'Connell again? - the bets for the upcoming match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Matteo Berrettini
ItalyCurrent form
Berrettini has scored five wins and four losses on the open hard court this season. The Italian played his last hard-court tournament in Dubai, where he managed to reach the quarterfinals - at this stadium Matteo lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Professional qualities
Berrettini can be called a generalist. The tall Italian has mastered the use of his powerful serve and strong forehand on different surfaces — grass, hard court and ground. Matteo won his last three titles on clay, but his career also includes trophies on grass and on outdoor hard court.
Current indicators in the tour
Berrettini is a former sixth racket of the world. He is currently ranked 29th in the world rankings. During his career, the Italian has won ten ATP titles. He scored three of them last season, winning on clay in Marrakech, Gstaad and Kitzbuhel.
Interesting facts for betting
Ten tie-breaks have been played in the last eight matches involving Berrettini.
Christopher O'Connell
AustraliaCurrent form
O'Connell beat Roberto Carballes-Baena 6-3, 0-6, 6-1 in the first round of the Indian Wells competition. Christopher made two aces against the Spaniard, made four break points and lost three games on his serve. For the Australian, it was his eighth win on the outdoor hard court this season, with five losses.
Professional qualities
O'Connell shows the best results on the hard drive. The Australian prefers to act as the first number, although sometimes he gives the initiative, playing in a defensive style. Christopher uses a one-handed backhand, which allows him to perfectly cut the ball defensively, but this shot often loses its effectiveness on the range.
Current indicators in the tour
O'Connell had never been in the top 50 of the world rankings before in his career. He is currently in 75th place. Last season, the Australian won the challenger in Guangzhou. It was the 15th title of his career for him.
Interesting facts for betting
O'Connell has won 7 of the last 9 matches.

Bet on the total

The second betting tip is a total of more than 22 games for a coefficient of 1.84
