Command Analysis

During the match against the Czech, Artur hit six aces, converted three break points and lost one game on his serve. For the Frenchman, this was his sixth indoor victory this season, with three losses.
Professional qualities
Phils deservedly occupies a high position in the ranking. He has good first and second serves. However, Arthur does not strive to dominate through the exits to the net, preferring to work on the baseline. Here he is helped by excellent speed, a powerful forehand with strong spin and a reliable backhand. Nevertheless, the main problem of the Frenchman remains instability: he does not always manage to combine all his strengths in one match, which leads to unexpected mistakes.

Current form
Tien lost to Joao Fonseca (0-4, 0-4, 4-1, 2-4) in the second round of the Next Gen ATP Finals group stage. Lerner served four aces, converted one break point and lost five games on his serve against the Brazilian. The American has eight wins and four losses indoors this season.
Professional qualities
Tien is a representative of the classic American tennis school. Although his serve is not super fast, it impresses with its accuracy and quality spin, which creates serious difficulties for opponents. In rallies, Lerner demonstrates excellent movement on the court, without problems with speed. However, his strokes are not always stable, which prevents him from maintaining a high level of play throughout the match. At the same time, Tien forehand stands apart - it is a real weapon, capable of bringing many winning points.
