Command Analysis
Current form
In the first round of the Australian Open, Gali beat Adam Walton (4-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6, 7-5). Quentin hit 31 aces, converted two break points and lost two games on his serve during the match against the Australian. For the Frenchman, this was his first victory in two matches this season.
Professional qualities
Gali is a representative of aggressive tennis, who actively uses attacking tactics. The Frenchman main weapon is a powerful forehand, which often brings him points in short rallies. His serve is also at a level, which allows him to confidently start his combinations. Quentin has a good backhand and uses topspins to control the pace of the game and put pressure on his opponents. However, the tennis player tall stature affects his defensive actions: his movement around the court leaves much to be desired, and Gali often does not have time to handle difficult balls. The Frenchman key problem is instability, which often lets him down in protracted matches and at important tournaments.

Professional qualities
Phils is one of the most promising French tennis players of the new generation. His game is based on a powerful serve and an aggressive return, which makes him especially dangerous on fast surfaces.
