Command Analysis
Dusan Lajovic
SerbiaCurrent form
Lajovic played two matches in the home tournament in Belgrade in early November. He beat Mariano Navone in the first round, but then lost to Fabian Marozsan. The Serb has one win and three losses indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Lajovic continues to stick to his positional style of play, which some consider a model of tactical literacy, while others criticize for being boring. Dusan does not have a powerful serve, but his game is almost independent of attacking actions. The main tactics are confident work on the back line, using the speed of the opponent shots and provoking mistakes. At the same time, if the situation allows, he can go to the halfcourt and make a powerful shot. On clay, this strategy shows itself to be excellent, but on hard it brings results only in rare cases.
Current indicators in the tour
Lajovic was once ranked 23rd in the world, but is now ranked 81st. The Serb is having a tough season - he has 17 wins and 25 losses this year. He showed his best result at the clay tournament in Barcelona, where he managed to reach the semi-final stage.
Interesting facts for betting
Lajovic has won just two of his last ten matches.
Pedro Martinez
SpainCurrent form
Martinez has played nine indoor matches this season, four of which he won. In mid-November, he played two friendly matches in France - Pedro beat Paul Cayer in two sets and he dealt with Hazem Nave in three sets.
Professional qualities
Martinez is a typical clay court player who does not have the skills to adapt to other surfaces. On hard courts, he tries to play in the same style as on clay, although this does not always bring success. The Spaniard consistently exchanges medium-power shots on the baseline, sometimes attacking with a flatter backhand. However, the lack of a stable strong serve does not allow him to count on confident games even on fast courts.
Current indicators in the tour
Martinez is currently ranked 41st in the world. On his specialty clay, the Spaniard has won two Challengers this year - in Girona and Valencia. He now has 16 career trophies to his name.
Interesting facts for betting
Nine of Martinez last 11 matches have gone straight sets.

1.61Tip and bets
Lajovic has a wealth of experience in various tournaments, but his form this season is far from ideal. Indoors, for example, the Serb has only one win in four matches this year. So Dusan is definitely not a favorite in the upcoming match. We believe that it is quite possible to bet on the outsider in this pair, that is, Martinez.
Our prediction is Martinez victory with odds of 2.21
