LiontipsBaez vs. Davidovich Fokina. Prediction and bets on the ATP Paris match
Command Analysis
Current form
Baez has not won a single match in two indoor matches this season. Sebastian played his last tournament at the tournament in Basel last week - he lost in the first round to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Professional qualities
Baez, like many South American clay court specialists, has solid footwork and stamina in long rallies, which helps him in baseline exchanges. However, it worth remembering that his first serve is of a decent standard, which has helped him find success on outdoor hard courts, winning the title in Winston-Salem last summer.
Current indicators in the tour
Baez has played successfully this season on his specialty clay. He won competitions in Rio de Janeiro and Santiago. He now has six ATP titles won in his career. The Argentine is ranked 26th in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Baez losing streak is now five games.
Current form
Davidovich Fokina made it to the main draw of the Masters in Paris through the qualification. In the selection, Alejandro beat Facundo Diaz Acosta and Christopher O'Connell. At the moment, the Spaniard has five wins and four losses on indoor hard courts.
Professional qualities
Davidovich Fokina is a solid player on clay and outdoor hard courts, using his agility and technique to attack aggressively with both his forehand and backhand. But he lacks the power of a serve to win points easily on indoor hard and grass courts. The Spaniard also tends to play from the baseline, while on faster surfaces he should come to the net more often.
Current indicators in the tour
Davidovich Fokina is currently ranked 61st in the world, although he was once ranked 21st. The Spaniard has not won a single trophy this season, and his last victory was at the Liuzhou tournament in 2019.
Interesting facts for betting
Davidovich Fokina has won at least one set in 8 of his last 10 matches.
