Command Analysis
Roberto Carballes Baena
SpainCurrent form
Carballes-Baena played his last tournament in Marrakech. As part of those competitions, Roberto managed to demonstrate a pretty good result. In Marrakech, he reached the semifinals, where the Spaniard lost to Luciano Darderi. Carballes-Baena has three wins and three losses on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Carballes-Baena is one of those Spanish players who feels as confident as possible on clay courts. Over the years, he has accumulated an impressive collection of challenger-level titles and won two ATP tournaments playing on his favorite surface. On his serve, Roberto tries to immediately seize the initiative and impose his game on the opponent. The Spaniard's main weapon is a stable forehand, which he often uses to adjust the game to a comfortable rhythm. At the same time, Carballes-Baena prefers to act carefully without unnecessary risk at the reception.
Current indicators in the tour
Carballes-Baena is the 57th racket of the world at the moment. The 32-year-old Spaniard has won 24 trophies in his career, two of which are in the ATP category. Last season, Roberto won the dirt challengers held in Braunschweig and Seville.
Interesting facts for betting

Jordan Thompson
AustraliaCurrent form
Thompson has played only three matches on clay this season, in which he scored only one victory. He completed it last week at the Monte Carlo Masters, beating Giovanni Mpeshi, after which the Australian lost to Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Professional qualities
Thompson is an example of how perseverance and discipline can keep you at a high level for many years to come. The Australian does not stand out for exceptional talent, but his stability leaves behind many more gifted competitors. He demonstrates a balanced style of play, adapting to different conditions, although Jordan feels most confident on hard surfaces. It is especially worth noting the flat forehand of the Australian - on a fast surface, such a blow causes a lot of trouble for his opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Thompson won his last trophy last season, winning the open hard court in Los Cabos. It was the first ATP title of his career for the 30-year-old Australian. Jordan is currently ranked 38th in the world rankings.
