LiontipsTiafoe vs Mpeshi. ATP Brisbane Match Prediction and Betting Tips
Command Analysis
Current form
Tiafoe won the first round of the competition in Brisbane in two sets against Adam Walton (7-6, 6-3). Francis hit 13 aces, converted two break points and lost one game on his serve in the match against the Australian.
Professional qualities
Tiafoe is a bright player who prefers an attacking style of play. His powerful forehand with strong topspin causes a lot of problems for his opponents. One of Francis key strengths is his serve, as well as his aggressive forehand play. However, the American has some weaknesses: he is not always confident when receiving, and his second serve leaves much to be desired, which can create additional difficulties in important moments.
Current indicators in the tour
Tiafoe is a former world No. 10. The American is currently ranked No. 18 in the world. Last season, we recall, Francis played in two finals - at tournaments in Houston and Cincinnati.
Interesting facts for betting
Tiafoe ended last season with a loss to Mpeshi at the Paris Masters.
Current form
Mpeshi beat Nick Kyrgios (7-6, 6-7, 7-6) at the start of the tournament in Brisbane. Giovanni served 36 aces during the match, did not convert a single break point and did not lose a single game on his serve.
Professional qualities
Mpeshi is a Frenchman who prefers a powerful serve to the net on the court, which is ideal for fast surfaces. Surprisingly, his titles do not come on hard or grass courts, despite his strong serve, which is especially noticeable on fast surfaces. However, Giovanni needs to work on the consistency of his serve, as failures in this element lead to problems in the game.
Current indicators in the tour
Mpeshi can definitely put last season down as a success. Last season he won five trophies - challengers in Nottingham, Acapulco and Morelos, as well as two ATP titles, in Lyon and Basel. In the world rankings, the Frenchman is in 31st place.
