Command Analysis
Frances Tiafoe
USACurrent form
Tiafoe played in the finals of competitions in Houston on clay this season, but he failed two subsequent tournaments. In Monte Carlo, the American lost to Alexei Popyrin at the start, and in Munich last week he lost to Jaume Munyar in the first round.
Professional qualities
Tiafoe is a spectacular tennis player with a pronounced attacking style of play. He often dictates the pace of the game due to a powerful forehand and a confident first serve. These components allow him to exert serious pressure on his rivals. However, the American's weaknesses are still noticeable - it's an unstable second serve and an uncertain reception game.
Current indicators in the tour
Tiafoe won his last title in his career in 2023, winning the grass competition in Stuttgart. It was the third ATP title of his career for the 27-year-old American. Francis is currently in 17th place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
The last three matches with Tiafoe ended in three sets.
Luciano Darderi
ItalyCurrent form
Darderi started at the Madrid Masters with a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Quentin Gali. Luciano made five aces, made three break points, and lost one game on his serve. It was the 13th clay court victory for the Argentine this season, with five losses.
Professional qualities
Darderi feels best on slow surfaces, especially on the ground, where his defensive play brings the greatest effect. He knows how to act stably on the back line and has a completely reliable serve. Nevertheless, the Italian's emotionality often gets out of control - this makes it difficult to maintain concentration and maintain an advantage even in winning matches. Although Luciano's emotional temper has become less frequent lately.
Current indicators in the tour
Darderi won a tournament in Marrakech this season. It was the second ATP title of the 23-year-old Italian's career. Luciano is currently ranked 46th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Darderi has won 8 of the last 10 matches.
