Rinderknech vs O'Connell. ATP Adelaide Match Prediction
Rinderknech and O'Connell will meet in the first round of the tournament in Adelaide on January 6. In their last face-to-face meeting, which took place in August last year in Winston-Salem, Rinderknech won a confident victory in two sets. Is O'Connell ready to take revenge on the Frenchman in the upcoming match? - bets on this match are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Arthur Rinderknech
FranceCurrent form
Rinderknech started the new season with a defeat. Arthur took part in the competition in Brisbane, where he failed to cope with Yoshihito Nishioka in the first round, losing to him in two sets. Let us recall that last season the Frenchman won 16 times and suffered 13 defeats on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
Rinderknech is a tennis player with a rather straightforward style of play, which, nevertheless, remains quite dangerous for opponents. His main trump card is a powerful diagonal forehand, on which most rallies are built. The Frenchman prefers a wait-and-see tactic: he defends at the beginning of the rally and waits for the moment to attack. Given his height, Arthur also has a strong serve, which allows him to score easy points, and his ability to confidently act at the net makes him an even more versatile player on fast surfaces.
Current indicators in the tour
Rinderknech finished last season ranked 59th in the world. The Frenchman managed to win one title and show decent results in several major tournaments. In March, Arthur celebrated victory at the Challenger in Lille. In a tense final against Joris De Loor, the Frenchman broke his opponent resistance, winning in three sets. In July, the 29-year-old Frenchman reached the semifinals of the tournament in Atlanta. In the fight for a place in the final, he lost to the Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka.
Interesting facts for betting
Rinderknech is on a three-game losing streak.
Christopher O'Connell
AustraliaCurrent form
O'Connell took part in the tournament in Brisbane last week, which he left rather quickly. In the first round of that competition, Christopher lost to Alex Mickelsen. Last year, let us recall, the Australian won 23 times and lost 16 times on open hard courts.
Professional qualities
O'Connell is one of those tennis players whose style of play attracts attention not only for its effectiveness but also for its aesthetics. The Australian is known for his fast and technical one-handed backhand, which adds variety to his rallies and allows him to unexpectedly change the direction of his strokes. In addition, Christopher has an excellent serve, combining high speed with awkward spin, which makes him especially dangerous on hard surfaces.
Current indicators in the tour
O'Connell is currently ranked 64th in the world. Last season, the 30-year-old Australian demonstrated stable performances in challengers and managed to win one title. In September, Christopher won the tournament in Guangzhou, China. The final match against Japanese Sho Shimabukuro was not easy - O'Connell lost the first set, but managed to turn the tide of the match and snatch victory in three games.
