LiontipsSafiullin - Karatsev. Forecast and bets on the ATP Bratislava match
Command Analysis
Current form
Safiullin beat Marc-Andre Huesler in two sets (6-4, 6-3) in the second round of the competition in Bratislava. In the first round, Roman broke the resistance of Milos Karol. Indoors, the Russian has two wins in four matches this season.
Professional qualities
Safiullin demonstrates a reliable game on his serve, where he wins points without even serving with excessive force. This allows him to effectively hold his games without risk, but long matches remain his weak point - in decisive sets he sometimes falls short due to a lack of concentration or physical strength.
Current indicators in the tour
Safiullin, due to his not entirely clear play this season, left the top 50 of the world rankings and is currently in 59th place. Although this year Roman has one victory to his credit - in August he won the challenger in Cary.
Interesting facts for betting
3 out of 4 of Safiullin indoor matches this season were "high-scoring".
Current form
Karatsev defeated Jozef Kovalik (7-6, 6-1) in the second round of the competition in Bratislava. In the first round, we recall, Aslan was stronger than Alexander Ritchard. The Russian has five wins in six matches on indoor hard courts this season.
Professional qualities
Karatsev is known for his aggressive style. When in good shape, he can confidently attack on both hard and clay, putting constant pressure on his opponents. However, his instability and susceptibility to mistakes become noticeable when he is not fully prepared physically or mentally. In such situations, the Russian can make many mistakes, and emotions interfere with maintaining rhythm.
Current indicators in the tour
For Karatsev, the upcoming quarterfinal will be the first in his career. The season is not going well for the Russian, largely due to a knee injury he sustained at the beginning of the year. Aslan is currently ranked 313th in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
Karatsev won 5 of the last 6 matches.
