LiontipsBautista Agut vs Van Assche. Prediction and bets on the ATP Antwerp match
Command Analysis
Current form
Bautista Agut has played only three matches indoors this season, winning one of them. The Spaniard played his last match at the recent Masters in Shanghai, where he left the competition after the first round, losing to Roberto Carballes Baena.
Professional qualities
Bautista Agut prefers a counter-attacking style, but is able to perform successfully on clay and outdoor hard courts, as well as on indoor and grass courts. This is due to his ability to adapt to different conditions. On fast surfaces, he adds an offensive element to his game, and the presence of a strong serve and clear shots from both sides only enhances his potential.
Current indicators in the tour
Bautista Agut is a former world No. 9. He is currently ranked No. 60 in the world. The Spaniard has not had much success this season. He can only boast of quarterfinals in Hong Kong and Bordeaux.
Interesting facts for betting
Five of the last six Bautista-Agut matches have ended in three sets.
Current form
Van Assche made it to the main draw of the competition in Antwerp through the qualification. In the selection, Luca won two convincing victories - in two sets he beat Jelle Sels and Alex Marty. Indoors, the Frenchman has five wins and four losses this season.
Professional qualities
Van Assche has an outstanding technique and excellent control over the ball, creating spin in any direction. He is able to both effectively draw opponents to the net and tire them out with slice shots. His powerful serve is especially noteworthy during indoor hard court matches in Europe.
Current indicators in the tour
