Command Analysis
Tomas Etcheverry
ArgentinaCurrent form
Etcheverry competed in Monte Carlo last week. In the framework of that Masters, he beat Corentin Muthe in the first round, but then lost to Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina. The Argentine has four wins and five losses on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Etcheverry is famous for its organized defensive play. His tall stature helps him not only serve effectively, but also to act confidently from the depth of the court, directing the balls into areas inconvenient for the opponent. He prefers a wait-and-see style of play, attacking only at the right moment, which makes him especially dangerous in protracted draws. Nevertheless, Thomas often lacks confidence in matches with top tennis players, and this affects his results.
Current indicators in the tour
Etcheverry won his last title in 2022 at the clay challenger in Concepcion. It was the Argentine's eighth career title for the 25-year-old. Thomas is currently ranked 46th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Etcheverry was a semi-finalist in Barcelona last year.
Alex de Minaur
AustraliaCurrent form
At the Monte Carlo Masters last week, De Minaur managed to show a pretty good result. At those competitions, the Australian managed to reach the semifinals - at this stage he lost to Lorenzo Musetti. Alex has three wins and one loss on clay this season.
Professional qualities
De Minaur is one of the fastest players on the tour. His ability to instantly gain advantageous positions on the court allows him to defend effectively and return even the most difficult balls. The Australian feels comfortable in mid-tempo draws, where he can impose a comfortable rhythm on his opponent. At the same time, his style is non-aggressive - he rarely takes risks and prefers safe solutions. Alex often relies on straight, flat punches from both sides for finishing shots, which works well both on open hard and on clay, which he actually managed to demonstrate last week in Monte Carlo.
Current indicators in the tour
De Minaur is the seventh racket of the world at the moment. During his career, the 26-year-old Australian has won nine ATP titles. He completed two of them last season, winning competitions in Acapulco and 'S-Hertogenbosch.
