LiontipsKovacevic vs Goffin. Prediction and bets on the ATP Montpellier match
Command Analysis
Current form
Kovačević made it to the main draw of the competition in Montpellier through the qualification. In the selection, Aleksandar first beat Robin Bertrand in two sets, and then also in two sets he dealt with Pablo Carreno Busta. This season, the Americans have nine wins and three losses.
Professional qualities
Kovačević demonstrates a straightforward style of play, relying on his forehand, with which he enjoys engaging in fast-paced exchanges. The American is able to maintain the pace with his backhand, but this element often fails. His main weapon is a powerful serve with spin, which regularly brings him many aces. However, the dependence on this component and the simplicity of the rallies make his game predictable.
Current indicators in the tour
Kovacevic is close to returning to the top 100 soon. He is currently ranked 102nd. The American has already won one title this season - he won the indoor trophy in Quimper. He has five titles in his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Indoors this season, Kovacevic has already won eight of his nine matches.
Current form
Goffin has not won yet in the new season. Following the first round, he left the competitions in Brisbane, Adelaide and also lost at the start of the Australian Open. In Melbourne, we recall, David did not cope with Benjamin Bonzi in the first round.
Professional qualities
Goffin has spent his career focusing on stamina and court movement, compensating for his lack of a powerful serve with incredible footwork and precision. The Belgian has never relied on the speed of his serve, preferring to draw out rallies and force mistakes from his opponents. However, with age, he has improved his serve to an acceptable level, which has added stability to his game. At the same time, David gravitates towards sharp attacking or counter-attacking actions, avoiding drawn-out and slow rallies.
Current indicators in the tour
Goffin is a former world No. 7. He is currently ranked No. 56 in the world. The Belgian has won 21 trophies in his career, six of which are ATP titles. Last year, David won the Ilkley Grass Challenger title.
Interesting facts for betting
Goffin losing streak now stands at five fights.
