Command Analysis
Cameron Norrie
Great BritainCurrent form
Norrie had seven wins and four losses on outdoor hard courts last season. Cameron finished the season at an indoor tournament in Metz, where he managed to reach the final - in the decisive match, the Briton lost to Benjamin Bonzi.
Professional qualities
Norrie is rightfully one of the best left-handed players on tour. His strong point is his tenacious return, but his serve is often a weak point. Cameron once demonstrated remarkable consistency, approaching the elite, but has recently seen a decline. He often makes unnecessary mistakes, despite the fact that he is not a player prone to excessive risk and aggressive play.
Current indicators in the tour
Norrie is a former world No. 8. He is currently ranked No. 49 in the world. Cameron has won 12 trophies in his career, five of which are ATP titles.
Interesting facts for betting
Norrie has suffered only one defeat in his last five games.
Learner Tien
USACurrent form
Tien played just fine at the end of last season. In October, he won the title in Fairfield. In November, he reached the final at the Knoxville Challenger and in December, Lerner played the final at the Junior Finals. Last season, the American won 53 times and lost eight times on outdoor hard courts.
Professional qualities
Tien is still developing his playing style, but already stands out with a quality serve and a strong forehand. Despite his modest height of 180 cm for tennis, he plays confidently at the net and is not afraid to go forward in attack. However, at the ATP level, his experience is still limited, which makes it difficult to accurately assess his key strengths and weaknesses. At this stage of development, the player should focus on improving the power of his serve.
Current indicators in the tour
Tien, thanks to a good end to last season, has come close to the top 100 in the world rankings. The 19-year-old American has seven trophies to his credit in the past season, including three challengers - he won in Bloomberg, Las Vegas and Fairfield.
Interesting facts for betting
Tien has won three of his last five matches, where he was a clear underdog.
