Command Analysis

Hugo Gaston

Current form
Gaston faced Reilly Opelka in the second round of the competition in Phoenix and beat him in two sets (7-6, 6-3). During the match against the American, Hugo made three aces, made two break points and lost one game on his serve. In the first round, the Frenchman passed Adam Walton.
Professional qualities
Gaston is a southpaw with excellent technique, high speed and a good playing sense. His shortened strokes are especially effective on clay, where he has achieved the most success in his career. The Frenchman prefers a counterattacking style, he is distinguished by accuracy, but his serve leaves much to be desired, because his short height of 173 cm does not allow him to generate powerful blows.
Current indicators in the tour
Gaston has won eight trophies in his career, none of which are yet in the ATP category. In 2024, Hugo took his last title, winning the competition in Lyon. The 24-year-old Frenchman is currently ranked 93rd in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
The last ten matches with Gaston ended in two sets.

Joao Fonseca

Current form
Fonseca had a fight with Jan-Lennard Struff (6-1, 4-6, 6-3) in the second round of the challenger in Phoenix. Joao made four aces against the German, made five break points and lost two games on his serve. The Brazilian beat Pavel Kotov in the first round.
Professional qualities
Fonseca has incredible potential. The Brazilian has already won two ATP titles, one of which he won this season. Joao's main trump card is a powerful forehand, which stands out favorably among the other elements of his game. The Brazilian still has room for progress and the opportunity to significantly improve his skills.
Current indicators in the tour
Fonseca has won two ATP trophies in his career. He won one of them this season by winning the competition in Rio de Janeiro. The 18-year-old Brazilian is currently ranked 80th in the world rankings.
