LiontipsBublik vs. Kepfer. ATP Montpellier Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
In the new season, Bublik played two matches in which he lost. At the tournament in Adelaide, he lost to Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round. As part of the Australian Open, Alexander lost to Francisco Cerundolo at the start. Let us recall that last season, the representative of Kazakhstan had six indoor victories and three defeats.
Professional qualities
Bublik is one of the most unconventional players on the tour. His well-placed serve and unconventional solutions, such as serves from the hand, can surprise any opponent. However, the Kazakhstani does not have a strong character and often loses concentration, which prevents him from showing consistent results. On fast surfaces, he is extremely dangerous, but in his current state, he is hardly capable of realizing even 80 percent of his potential. Bublik is currently experiencing a game crisis, which affects his performances.
Current indicators in the tour
Bublik is ranked 39th in the world. During his career, Alexander has won 14 trophies, four of which are ATP categories. He won his last title last year at an indoor tournament in Montpellier.
Interesting facts for betting
Bublik is last year winner of the tournament in Montpellier.
Current form
Koepfer started the tournament in Montpellier with a victory over Gregoire Barrere (6-4, 7-6). Dominic hit six aces, converted three break points and lost two games on his serve in the match against the Frenchman. The German has four wins in seven matches this season.
Professional qualities
Koepfer is a physically strong tennis player who relies on power tennis. He has a good serve, but his main weapon is a powerful left-handed forehand, which he actively uses, running under the comfortable side to compensate for his weaker backhand. The German is not tied to a specific surface, but his main problem is inconsistency, which prevents him from achieving high results on a regular basis.
Current indicators in the tour
Koepfer is currently ranked 118th in the world, although he was once in the top 50. The German tennis player won his last title last season on the open hard court in Canberra. Dominic has won a total of nine trophies in his career.
