Command Analysis
Flavio Cobolli
ItalyCurrent form
Kobolli played flawlessly in the United Cup group stage, winning both of his matches. He dealt with Switzerland Dominik Stricker in two sets, and then beat France Ugo Humbert in three games.
Professional qualities
Kobolli focuses on defense, preferring to wait for his opponents to make mistakes. The Italian is able to withstand long rallies thanks to his stamina and excellent movement around the court. However, his weak serve and lack of power in his shots make his game predictable. Flavio sticks to a baseline strategy, which sometimes limits his chances of success in more dynamic matches.
Current indicators in the tour
Kobolli is the 32nd racket in the world. Last season, the Italian tennis player results include the final in Washington. In the decisive match of that competition, he lost to American Sebastian Korda in three sets. Flavio has won three trophies in his career so far.
Interesting facts for betting
Kobolli has played four tiebreaks in his last five matches on open hard.
Tomas Machac
Czech RepublicCurrent form
Makhach started the United Cup match against the representative of Norway Casper Ruud, in which he lost in three sets. However, Tomasz then immediately rehabilitated himself, defeating the Pole Hubert Hurkacz.
Professional qualities
Makhac is a versatile player who plays his best tennis on hard courts. The Czech skillfully adapts his style of play to his opponent weaknesses, and is confident both on the baseline and at the net. He has a strong backhand and a decent forehand. However, Makhac often struggles to handle the pressure in matches against stronger opponents, which sometimes leads to his instability on the court.
Current indicators in the tour
Makhac is the 25th racket in the world. Last season, the Czech tennis player had a total of 37 victories and 24 defeats. He has no trophies for the past year, but he has one final played - on clay in Geneva, he lost to Casper Ruud in the decisive match. In total, Tomas has won ten titles in his career.
