Command Analysis
Current form
Kudla last took to the court in an official match at Wimbledon. He played in the qualification round of the London major, where he failed to cope with Jesper De Jong, losing to him in two sets. Denis has five wins in his last ten matches.
Professional qualities
Kudla stands out for his reliable serve, which helps him win easy points. He is also known for his tenacious fight until the last ball, which allows him to show character and determination on the court. Denis is a solid middling player whose game often lacks consistency.
Current indicators in the tour
Kudla is ranked 191st in the world, although he was once ranked 53rd. This season, the American representative has a positive statistic - 17 wins with 15 losses. He demonstrated his best results this year indoors in Cleveland and on clay in San Luis - he reached the semifinals in both tournaments.
Interesting facts for betting

Current form
Gasquet last took to the court in an official match at the end of July. Then Richard took part in the clay challenger in Verona, where he beat Samuel Vincent in the first round, but then lost to Vilisus Gaubas. In the last ten matches, the Frenchman has four victories.
Professional qualities
Gasquet stands out for his magnificent and beautiful backhand, which is one of his calling cards. His baseline game is confident and technical, which allows him to effectively counter opponents and demonstrate a high level of skill in long rallies. He also has a slice serve in his arsenal, which is not so easy to handle. Gasquet is now 38 years old, which means that he has lost some speed, which certainly affected his ability to maintain a high level of play throughout the match.
Current indicators in the tour
Gasquet is a former world No. 7. Richard is currently ranked 126th in the world. The Frenchman has not won a single tournament this season, but has played in one final. In February, he reached the final of the hardcourt challenger in Manama, where he lost to Mikhail Kukushkin in the final.
Interesting facts for betting
On open hard courts, Gasquet has a positive statistic - 9 wins with 6 losses, and one final played - at the challenger in Manama.
