Harry vs Rune. ATP Basel Match Prediction
Harry and Rune will meet in the first round of the tournament in Basel on October 22. Rune will have to defend last year semifinal on the courts of Basel. Holger is not in his best form now - he has fallen to 14th place in the world rankings, although not long ago he was the fourth racket in the world. Will the Dane be able to successfully play in Switzerland? - the analysis of the upcoming match and bets on it are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Nicolas Jarry
ChileCurrent form
Harry played indoors for the first time this season last week, beating Elias Ymer in Stockholm before losing to Miomir Kecmanovic.
Professional qualities
Harry stands out in tennis for his unique style. As a clay court player, he is well suited to an attacking style of play, which is due to his height. His powerful serve and aggressive forehand strikes make him a dangerous opponent. However, despite his skills, he cannot always effectively use them on indoor surfaces such as hard and grass, due to his habit of clay conditions.
Current indicators in the tour
Harry is in the top 50 in the world rankings and is ranked 34th. This season, Nicholas has not won a single trophy, but he has played in two finals. On clay, his specialty, he reached the final in Buenos Aires and the Masters in Rome.
Interesting facts for betting
Only two of Harry last eight matches have gone in straight sets.
Holger Rune
DenmarkCurrent form
Rune took part in an exhibition tournament in Saudi Arabia last week. Holger played only one match at that tournament, losing to Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals. On indoor hard courts, the Dane has three wins in six matches this season.
Professional qualities
Rune is slowly becoming a versatile player. He started out as a clay court player but quickly adapted and began to show excellent results on hard courts. His high win rate on indoor courts, including victories in Stockholm and Paris, confirms his talent and readiness to compete at a high level.
Current indicators in the tour
Surprisingly, Rune has only played one final this season - he reached the final at the tournament in Brisbane earlier this year. In the world rankings, the Dane is currently in 14th place, although he was once the fourth racket in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Rune was a semi-finalist at last year competition in Basel.
