Command Analysis
Billy Harris
Great BritainCurrent form
Harris lost to Thomas Etcheverry (6-3, 3-6, 2-6) in the first round of the United Cup group stage. Billy served nine aces, converted one break point and lost three games on his serve during the match against the Argentine.
Professional qualities
Harris stands out with his serve, which is his main asset. On fast surfaces, the Briton shows the best results, skillfully sharpening the game and actively using transfers from the backhand along the line. However, Billy finds it difficult to compete in long rallies, where he loses efficiency and does not always have time to adapt to a particular response from the opponent.
Current indicators in the tour
Harris is ranked 125th in the world. Last season, Billy showed good play in grass tournaments - he managed to reach the semi-final stage in Surbiton, Nottingham and Eastbourne.
Interesting facts for betting
Harris has suffered four straight losses.
Alex de Minaur
AustraliaCurrent form
De Minaur won the United Cup opener against Thomas Etcheverry, beating him in two sets (6-1, 6-4). Alex served eight aces, converted three break points and did not lose a single game on his serve.
Professional qualities
De Minaur is a master of long rallies, where he makes almost no mistakes. Although his serve is not his strong point, he demonstrates a high level in all other respects. The Australian moves well around the court and prefers a counter-attacking style. His main asset is his impeccable backhand, and his forehand shots are also distinguished by power and accuracy.
Current indicators in the tour
De Minaur is ranked number nine in the world. Last season, Alex won three trophies - he won the Ultimate Tennis Showdown and won the tournaments in Acapulco and -Hertogenbosch.
