Command Analysis

Pablo Carreno Busta

Current form
Carreno-Busta has scored five wins in nine matches on clay this season. Last week, Pablo took part in the dirt challenger in Madrid, during which he managed to reach the quarterfinals - at this stage he lost to Kamil Majhrzak.
Professional qualities
Carreno-Busta, despite his age and a difficult period associated with injuries, managed to rebuild his tennis, focusing on a more attacking style of play. This is noticeable both in the draws and on the serve, which may have been Pablo's reaction to the age-related decrease in speed and endurance. Although we note that this season the Spaniard managed to show good results on the open hard court, where he won two titles in Tenerife.
Current indicators in the tour
Carreno Busta was once ranked tenth in the world rankings. Now he is in the 103rd position. During his career, the 33-year-old Spaniard has won 33 trophies, seven of which are in the ATP category. This season, Pablo won two challengers held in Tenerife.

Arthur Fils

Current form
Fils tested the ground for the first time this season last week, playing at the Monte Carlo Masters. As part of those competitions, Arthur managed to reach the quarterfinals - at this stage he lost to Carlos Alcaraz.
Professional qualities
Fils is one of the main talents of French tennis. His game is based on strong serve and aggressive actions on reception, which is especially effective on high-speed courts. The first serve earns him a lot of easy points and allows him to quickly seize the initiative. At the same time, the experience of playing on clay adds flexibility to the Frenchman's game - he feels confident in long draws and skillfully uses shortened strokes. However, an intense style requires excellent physical fitness, and at times a lack of stamina affects Arthur's performance level.
Current indicators in the tour
Fils won three trophies last season - he won the challenger in Bordeaux, and won competitions in Hamburg and Tokyo. In total, the 20-year-old Frenchman has won five trophies in his career, three of which are in the ATP category. Arthur is currently in 15th place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
Fils is last year's quarterfinalist in the Barcelona competition.
