Command Analysis
Elias Ymer
SwedenFans have expected a breakthrough from Ymer for a long time, but he did not meet the expectations. Once, Elias was a step away from getting into the top hundred of the world ranking, but he couldn't rise above the 105th line. Now the representative of Sweden is 169th, and he doesn't often get into such big tournaments.
This season Ymer looks solid on clay. He won 20 out of his 30 matches on this surface and even played in the final of the Lyon Challenger and the semifinals in Split, Ostrava, and Aix-en-Provence. In the first round in Bastad, Elias beat the Japanese Taro Daniel (6-2, 6-7, 6-4).
Henri Laaksonen
SwitzerlandLaaksonen is showing excellent results this year. On clay, the Swiss played 28 matches, of which he won 18. His best performance was at Roland Garros, where Henri ousted Roberto Bautista-Agut and Yannick Hanfmann.
Before the start of the tournament in Bastad, Laaksonen played at the Challenger in Braunschweig and reached the final. However, in the decisive match, he showed a very disappointing play and was defeated by Daniel Altmaier in straight sets (1-6, 2-6). But in Bastad, Henri passed the qualifying, in which he defeated Yosuke Watanuki (6-7, 7-5, 7-5) and Andrej Martin (5-7, 6-3, 6-4). In the main draw, the Swiss player managed to beat Lorenzo Musetti (6-2, 3-6, 6-4).

Moreover, the last three matches were quite long and had three sets. We think that the Swiss may not have enough strength for this confrontation. Ymer will be very motivated to win at home.
