Command Analysis

Jesper de Jong

Current form
De Jong made his way to the main draw of the Barcelona competition through qualifying. In the selection, Jesper beat Lloyd Harris in two games, then he also dealt with Artur Rinderknech in two sets. The representative of the Netherlands has nine wins and five losses on clay this season.
Professional qualities
De Jong is a typical representative of a tennis school focused on playing on clay. He rarely plays on courts with a different surface, and on hard court, especially indoors, his results are far from ideal. Although the Dutch representative's serve is at a good level, he is able to play an attacking game from the back line. However, his lack of speed limits his ability to play defensively.
Current indicators in the tour
De Jong is the 94th racket of the world at the moment. This is the highest position of the representative of the Netherlands in the world ranking. During his career, 24-year-old Jesper has won eight trophies, the last of which he scored last season, winning the dirt challenger in Sassuolo.
Interesting facts for betting
De Jong has scored seven wins in his last ten fights.

Andrey Rublev

Current form
Rublev took part in the Monte Carlo Masters last week. In those competitions, he beat Gael Monfils in the first round, but then lost to Arthur Fils. Last season, Andrey had 11 wins and six losses on clay courts.
Professional qualities
Rublev prefers fast-paced and aggressive tennis, trying to finish the draws quickly, especially using his powerful forehand, which has long become his calling card. At the same time, the Russian's two-handed backhand is also reliable and often earns him easy points. This style of play is fraught with risk and a lot of mistakes, but in recent years Andrey has been able to find a balance between risk and stability, which helps him remain one of the strongest players in the world.
Current indicators in the tour
Rublev won the Doha tournament this season. It was the 17th ATP title of his career for the 27-year-old Russian. Andrey is currently in eighth place in the world ranking.
