LiontipsDe Minaur vs Etcheverry. Prediction and bets on the match United Cup
Command Analysis
Current form
De Minaur ended the last season on a high note. Alex won the exhibition competition Ultimate Tennis Showdown, in the final of which he beat Holger Rune. On open hard courts, the Australian had 24 wins and six losses last season.
Professional qualities
De Minaur is one of the fastest and most agile players on tour, which allows him to pull out points even in the most difficult rallies. His forehand is powerful and accurate, and his backhand demonstrates consistency, which is an important element of the game for the Australian. However, Alex weak point remains his serve: he rarely makes aces, and his putting of the ball into play is sometimes lacking creativity, which affects his effectiveness.

De Minaur finished the last season with three trophies. In addition to winning the Ultimate Tennis Showdown, he also won the title in Acapulco and -Hertogenbosch. Alex now has nine ATP trophies won in his career. The Australian is currently ranked ninth in the world.

Current form
Etcheverry is a clay court player, so his results on outdoor hard courts last season were not the best - seven wins and ten losses. He played his last match on this surface at the tournament in Shanghai in early October - Thomas lost to Jannik Sinner in the third round.
Professional qualities
Etcheverry stands out for his skillful defensive play. Thanks to his height, the Argentine is able to not only serve hard, but also powerfully place the ball at the feet of opponents from the back line.

However, Thomas' weakness is his inability to play confidently against the leaders of the tour, which often leads to a loss of confidence in matches with higher-ranked opponents.
