Command Analysis

Alexandre Muller

Current form
Muller competed at the Cap Caen challenger last week, during which he managed to reach the semifinals - at this stage he lost to Alexander Kovacevich. The Frenchman has won seven open hard court matches this season and lost in four matches.
Professional qualities
Muller has achieved an excellent balance in his game. The Frenchman improved his first serve, making it even sharper, while maintaining high accuracy. Alexander has become more powerful, especially with a forehand, and his actions at the net deserve praise. When the Frenchman fails to play on the back line, he skillfully goes forward.
Current indicators in the tour
Muller won his only ATP title of his career this season, winning the open hard court in Hong Kong. The French tennis player is currently ranked 41st in the world rankings. This is his highest position.
Interesting facts for betting
4 of the last 6 matches involving Muller were played in two sets.

Rei Sakamoto

Current form
Sakamoto made his way to the main draw of the Miami competition through qualifying. In the selection, the Japanese outplayed rather difficult opponents - he dealt with Kamil Majhrzak and James Duckworth. Ray has 11 wins and five losses on the open hard this year.
Professional qualities
Sakamoto, at his best, is capable of defeating many rivals. However, he rarely demonstrates this form. Ray has been going through a difficult period in the last six months. The reason is that he has lost confidence on the court and often makes mistakes even in simple moments.
Current indicators in the tour
Sakamoto is the 330th racket of the world at the moment. The 18-year-old Japanese has won only one trophy in his career. He won it on the courts of Yokkaichi last season.
Interesting facts for betting
Sakamoto has won 5 of the last 6 matches.
