Command Analysis

Aleksandar Vukic

Current form
Vukic has failed the last eight tournaments, losing at the start. Last week, Alexander took part in competitions in Munich, where he failed to overcome the opening round of qualifying, losing to Billy Harris.
Professional qualities
Vukic focuses his game on serving, which, although not considered powerful, stands out for its accuracy. This allows him to quickly complete the draws using a powerful forehand on the second or third stroke. Hard is his favorite surface, which he feels most confident on. Nevertheless, against tennis players with proven tactics, Alexander often gets lost and cannot impose his game on them.
Current indicators in the tour
Vukic has won three titles in his career. He completed the last of them in 2023 at the Challenger open hard court in Busan. The 29-year-old Australian is currently ranked 83rd in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Vukic has lost his last nine matches.

Kei Nishikori

Current form
Nishikori played his last tournament in Houston in early April. As part of those clay competitions, he beat Mitchell Kryucheg in the first round, but then could not finish the fight against Christopher Eubanks due to slight discomfort in his hand.
Professional qualities
Nishikori is still one of the most technical representatives of Japanese tennis. Kay confidently plays the ball, combining precise input with aggressive shots from both sides. Although the peak of his career is already behind him, the experience and variety in the arsenal allow the Japanese veteran to successfully confront young players and cause them serious problems on the court.
Current indicators in the tour
Nishikori has won 22 titles in his career, 12 of which are in the ATP category. Last season, Kay won the Indore Challenger in Helsinki. In the world ranking, the 35-year-old Japanese is now in 64th place, although he was once the fourth racket of the world.
