LiontipsDuckworth vs Vukic. ATP Almaty Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Duckworth arrived in Almaty in a great emotional state, having won the title in Hangzhou the day before. In the final of that challenger, he beat Mackenzie McDonald. James has five wins and two losses indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Duckworth has dealt with injuries throughout his career, causing his ranking to fluctuate between being in and out of the top 100. He has a great forehand and a good understanding of the game. He plays at a fast pace and has good court vision.
Current indicators in the tour
Duckworth was once ranked in the world top 50, but is currently ranked 63rd. The Australian has been doing well this season, as evidenced by his recent title in Hangzhou. This, by the way, was his 24th career trophy.
Interesting facts for betting
Duckworth winning streak stands at five matches.
Current form
Vukic has not played on indoor hard courts yet this season. His last match was on October 8, when he played a third-round match at the Shanghai Masters, where he lost to Tomas Machac.
Professional qualities
Vukic prefers a counter-attacking style of play, which is more suitable for fast courts, where he feels most comfortable. However, Alexander does not mind playing on clay, which is a testament to his versatility. He does not have a confident backhand, so he often tries to run under his right hand to finish the rally with a powerful forehand, avoiding long exchanges on the baseline.
Current indicators in the tour
Vukic has been without trophies this season. Alexander showed more or less good results at the challenger in Phoenix and at the grass competitions in Eastbourne. In both places, he managed to reach the semi-finals. The Australian is currently ranked 85th in the world.
