Monteiro - Kubler. Prediction for the Australian Open match

Current form

Monteiro took part in the United Cup team competition last week. He played two matches in the group stage, losing to Zhizhen Zhang and then to Alexander Zverev in two sets. Last season, the Brazilian had 34 wins and 18 losses on open hard courts.

Professional qualities

Monteiro is a player with an energy-consuming style of play, which is not always suitable for fast surfaces. Although he has a powerful serve, his weak point is the backhand, which often fails in rallies. Another problem for the Brazilian is receiving the first serve. Thiago feels most comfortable on clay. He can hit the ball from the back line for a long time, while waiting for the perfect moment to attack or for an opponent to make a mistake.

Current indicators in the tour

Monteiro finished last season ranked 109th in the world. The Brazilian, known for his performances on clay surfaces, spent the year without winning any titles, but managed to show himself well in some tournaments. In particular, he managed to get from the qualification to the third round of the Masters in Rome. And he also reached the semi-finals of the Challenger in Salzburg. During his career, the 30-year-old Brazilian, we note, has won 14 titles.

Interesting facts for betting

Monteiro losing streak now stands at three fights.

Current form

Last week, Kubler failed to qualify for the tournament in Brisbane. In the first round of the selection, the Australian lost to Luc Pouille. Last season, on open hard courts, Jason won eight matches and lost four.

Professional qualities

Kubler missed most of the 2023 season due to a knee injury. Now the Australian is actively gaining shape to return to his previous level as soon as possible. Jason is most dangerous on hard courts. He moves well around the court and skillfully uses his strengths. Kubler has a good forehand and a reliable backhand. His serve is not the strongest, but it is accurate and, most importantly, stable.

Current indicators in the tour

Kubler played just 12 matches last season. He missed most of the tournaments due to a knee injury, which is why he is currently ranked 638th in the world, although he was once 63rd. The 31-year-old Australian last won a title in 2023 - then he won the grass challenger in Ilkley. For him, it was the 21st trophy of his career.

Interesting facts for betting

Kubler has won four of his last six matches.
