Hugo Gaston as Yannick Hanfmann. Prediction for the ATP Madrid match

Gaston and Hanfmann will meet in the first round of the qualifying tournament in Madrid on April 21. The history of personal meetings speaks to the total advantage of Hanfmann, who won all four previous matches against Gaston. This in itself makes the German the favorite of the upcoming match. And if you add to this the fact that Hugo is in terrible shape right now and has been eliminated in the first round of qualifying in the last two tournaments, then the Frenchman's chances of success in this match seem minimal. What should I bet on in this confrontation? - find out in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Hugo Gaston

Current form
Gaston has failed the last two tournaments. At the Monte Carlo Masters and the Barcelona competition last week, he sheathed his racket following the first round of qualifying. On clay this season, the Frenchman has only one win in seven matches.
Professional qualities
Gaston is a southpaw with outstanding technical skills, lightning-fast movement around the court and a keen game sense. The French tennis player is especially dangerous on dirt surfaces due to his masterful shortened strokes. His game is built on counterattacks, but serving remains a weak component in his game. He also often has difficulty playing at the net and does not always withstand psychological pressure, which affects the results.
Current indicators in the tour
Gaston won the home clay challenger in Lyon last season. It was the eighth title of his career for the 24-year-old Frenchman. At the moment, Hugo is in 80th place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
Gaston suffered three defeats in a row.

Yannick Hanfmann

Current form
Hanfmann has scored two wins in seven matches on clay courts this season. Last week, Yannick took part in competitions in Munich, where he beat Jakub Menshik, but then lost to Tallon Grikspur.
Professional qualities
Hanfmann is a versatile player who knows how to vary the tempo and effectively apply cut shots and shortened ones. The German is distinguished by his accurate work at the reception and his stability in the draws, which is especially evident on slow surfaces. On fast courts, he sometimes lacks aggression and reliability on his serve - despite his impressive height, it's hard to call Yannick's serve a killer.
Current indicators in the tour
Hanfmann is currently ranked 123rd in the world, although he was once in the top 50. During his career, the 33-year-old German tennis player has won 12 trophies, the last of which he won in 2020 at the clay challenger, which took place in Todi.
Interesting facts for betting
Hanfmann has scored just one victory in his last six fights.
