Command Analysis

Alexei Popyrin

Current form
At the recent Indian Wells Masters, Popyrin only managed to overcome the opening match - he beat Ziza Bergs, after which he lost to Marcos Giron. Aleksai has two wins and five losses on the open hard this season.
Professional qualities
Popyrin is a cold-blooded tennis player. This is what makes him stand out among players with a similar style of play. He doesn't get nervous at crucial moments and stays calm even in tiebreaks. Alexey serves well and is able to complete the draws with powerful flat punches. He often goes to the grid if the situation allows it. However, the Aussie is not so strong in movement and gets lost when the opponent constantly loads his backhand.
Current indicators in the tour
Popyrin currently holds the 26th place in the world ranking. Last season, the 25-year-old Australian won the tournament in Montreal. It was his third ATP title of his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Popyrin has only three wins in the last ten matches.

Roman Safiullin

Current form
Safiullin defeated Jenson Brooksby 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in the first round of the Miami Masters. Roman made 12 aces in the match against the American, made three break points and lost two games on his serve. For the Russian, it was his fifth victory on the open hard court this season, with seven losses.
Professional qualities
Safiullin is a versatile tennis player, but he always lacks something to achieve great results. Perhaps this is due to his psychological instability. Roman has everything you need for big wins - a great serve, a powerful forehand, and also a good reception. If he becomes more self-confident, his career can advance significantly.
Current indicators in the tour
Safiullin is currently in 71st place in the world ranking, although he was once in the top 50. Roman won his last title last season, winning the Indore Challenger in Bratislava. It was the 25th title of his career for the 27-year-old Russian.
Interesting facts for betting
Safiullin left Miami last season following the results of the second round.
