LiontipsAuger-Aliassime - Coric. Forecast and bets for the United Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
The past season was a failure for Auger-Aliassime. On outdoor hard courts, the Canadian had only six wins and ten losses last season. His last victory on this surface was in mid-August at a tournament in Cincinnati.
Professional qualities
Auger-Aliassime main weapon is his serve: powerful, accurate, and virtually unbreakable. He has consistently won many points with it over the past four seasons. But other aspects of his game leave much to be desired. His forehand is only effective when in perfect position, and his backhand often leads to unforced errors rather than winning shots.
Current indicators in the tour
Auger-Aliassime is a former world No. 6. Felix is currently ranked No. 29 in the world. The Canadian tennis player finished last season without any trophies, but played in one final. He managed to reach the decisive match at the clay Masters in Madrid, where he lost to Andrey Rublev.
Interesting facts for betting
Auger-Aliassime has won just two of his last six matches.
Current form
Coric had eight wins and 13 losses on outdoor hard courts last season. Borna last played on this surface in Shanghai at the end of September, when he failed to qualify, losing to the little-known Faing Sun.
Professional qualities
Before his injury, Coric tennis was straightforward and aggressive. Borna confidently attacked from both sides, with his backhand often being more dangerous than his forehand. A strong serve was one of the keys to his success, depriving his opponents of breaks. Since his recovery, the Croatian still uses his old trump cards, but strives to diversify his game. However, his movement has deteriorated, and the consistency of his shots has almost disappeared.
Current indicators in the tour
Coric is currently ranked 90th in the world, although Borna was once in the top 15 and was the world 12th racket. Last season, the Croatian played in two finals - in early 2024, he reached the finals at the competitions in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve and Montpellier.
Interesting facts for betting
Coric last eight matches have featured seven tiebreaks.

2.31Tip and bets
It is difficult to call Auger-Aliassime a clear favorite in this match. Felix plays chaotically - his game lacks stability. Last season, he had negative statistics on open hard. We believe that Coric will be able to cling to at least a positive handicap in the upcoming match.
Our prediction is Coric victory with a handicap of (+4) games at odds of 1.73
Bet on total
Auger-Aliassime and Coric have met each other four times in their careers. Their last face-to-face meeting was played last year and ended in three sets. We expect that the upcoming match between the tennis players will also be "top-heavy".
The second forecast is total over 23 games for odds of 1.98
Bet on the first set
Three of Coric last five matches have seen the first set go to more than 9.5 games, and Borna upcoming match against Auger-Aliassime is likely to start with a top-flight first set as well.
Forecast - total over 9.5 games in the first set for odds of 1.68
