Professional qualities
Kovačević is an American who stands out for his powerful and quality serve, playing aggressively and with good movement around the court. He uses serve and volley tactics, which helps speed up the game and make it difficult for his opponent to make a break. When Aleksandar is in form, his game is difficult to break, and he often dominates the court with his attacking strategy.

Current form
Carreno Busta reached the final of the Montpellier tournament qualification thanks to a victory over Dalibor Svrcina (6-4, 7-5). Pablo hit five aces against the Czech, converted four break points and lost two games on his serve. This was the third victory for the Spaniard this season after four defeats.
Professional qualities
Carreno Busta is a Spaniard who is traditionally associated with clay, but has also shown good results on hard, including two semi-finals at the US Open. Pablo, despite his consistency in play, suffers from a lack of power in his serve, which makes him vulnerable on fast surfaces. In matches with more aggressive players, the difference in the speed of his serve and attacking actions can be decisive.
Current indicators in the tour
Carreno Busta is a former world No. 10. The Spaniard is currently ranked 182nd in the world. During his career, Pablo has won 30 trophies, seven of which are ATP titles. He won his last title in 2022 at the Montreal Open.

Kovacevic playing style is probably better suited to indoor hard court play, where a good and quality serve comes to the fore. However, Carreno Busta should not be written off. The Spaniard is more experienced than Aleksandar and, as we believe, this is what will help him advance.
Our prediction is a victory for Carreno-Busta with odds of 1.81
Bet on total
Carreno-Busta, relying on his experience, will certainly make the American work. However, the Spaniard is inferior to Kovacevic in the power of his strikes. In addition, Aleksandar has a good first serve in his arsenal. We expect a fight in this pair.
