LiontipsMartinez vs Dardery. Australian Open match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
At the start of the new season, Martinez played in a tournament in Hong Kong, where he lost to Chungchen Shan in the second round. And he played in a competition in Auckland, where he failed to overcome the starting round, losing to Gael Monfils. Last season, we note, the Spaniard won seven victories and lost nine on open hard.
Professional qualities
Martinez is a defensive tennis player who prefers a counter-attacking game. He spends most of the season on clay courts, where he feels most confident. The Spaniard is excellent at the baseline, where he starts most of his attacking maneuvers. His return of serve is stable and reliable, but his own serve leaves much to be desired. Martinez often shows inconsistent results, especially in matches against strong opponents.
Current indicators in the tour
Martinez is ranked 49th in the world. The Spaniard has two tournaments won by the end of last season. On clay, his specialty, he won in Girona, where he beat Radu Albot in the final. Pedro also won another home challenger - in Valencia. Here, in the final, he beat Jamie Faria. In total, the Spaniard has 16 titles won in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Martinez has won 3 of his last 5 matches.
Current form
Dardery is a clay court player, so he has little success on hard courts. Luciano elimination from the competitions in Hong Kong and Auckland at the start of the new season based on the results of the first rounds is proof of this. It should be noted that last season the Italian won only one match out of ten on outdoor hard courts.
Professional qualities
Dardery is a typical clay court player who plays confidently from the baseline. He stands out for his excellent speed and confident shots from both sides. However, serving is not one of his strong points, while the Italian ball reception is at a very decent level. Luciano left-hand play can also be singled out - his backhand is not dangerous, but he is quite capable of hitting a shot on the move along the line.
Current indicators in the tour
Dardery is ranked 44th in the world. Last season brought the Italian his first ATP title. At the beginning of last year, we recall, Luciano won the competition in Cordoba, in the final of which he beat Facundo Bagnis. In total, Dardery has won six trophies in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Dardery have only one win in their last ten matches.

2.16Tip and bets
Martinez, frankly, was lucky with his opponent. Dardery doesn't do much on open hard courts - his losing streak on this surface is eight matches. Pedro is also not the best player on hard courts, but the Spaniard is more flexible in his game and also has more experience in the main draw of the Australian Open than Luciano.
Our prediction is Martinez victory with odds of 1.81
