LiontipsBublik vs Rune. Prediction and bets on the ATP Paris match
Command Analysis
Current form
Bublik beat Fabio Fognini (7-5, 7-5) in the first round of the competition in Paris. Alexander hit 15 aces, converted three break points and lost one game on his serve during the match against the Italian. For the representative of Kazakhstan, this was the sixth victory indoors this season in eight games.
Professional qualities
Bublik stands out with his powerful first serve, which allows him to win easy points. However, his aggressive approach on the second ball sometimes leads to unjustified risk, which is expressed in frequent double faults. In rallies, Alexander acts unpredictably, actively using shortened shots.
Current indicators in the tour
Bublik is the number one tennis player in Kazakhstan and the 33rd tennis player in the world. Alexander has one trophy won this season. At the beginning of the year, he successfully played at an indoor tournament in Montpellier. It was his fourth ATP title won in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Bublik has only two wins in his last ten matches.
Current form
Rune started in Paris with a win over Matteo Arnaldi (6-4, 6-4). Holger served seven aces, converted two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve in the match against the Italian. The Dane has seven wins and four losses indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Rune is versatile and prefers to control the game from the baseline. He has confident strokes from both sides, which allows him to alternate active attacks from the forehand and reliable defense from the backhand. An excellent serve helps Holger successfully hold his games on hard courts indoors.
Current indicators in the tour
Rune is Denmark No. 1 and the world No. 13. The season has not been going well for Holger. He has not won a single title this year. In January, the Dane played in his only final this season - at the tournament in Brisbane, he lost to Grigor Dimitrov in the decisive match.
Interesting facts for betting
