LiontipsRublev is Zhang. ATP Rotterdam Match forecast and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Rublev has yet to demonstrate anything in the new season. He left the Hong Kong and Australian Open competitions after the first round. Last week, in the semifinals of the tournament in Montpellier, Andrei lost to the 75th racket of the world Aleksandar Kovacevich.
Professional qualities
Rublev is a pronounced attacking player who strives to dominate every game. He has a powerful first serve, a crushing forehand and a stable two-handed backhand. In the conditions of indoor courts, the Russian feels confident, which allows him to effectively put pressure on his rivals.
Current indicators in the tour
Rublev ranks tenth in the world ranking. Last season, Andrey won two titles - he won the open hard court in Hong Kong and won the clay Masters in Madrid. In total, the Russian has won 23 titles in his career, 16 of which are in the ATP category.
Interesting facts for betting
Rublev was a quarterfinalist in the Rotterdam competition last year.
Current form
Zhang has only two wins and four losses in the new season so far. Last week, the Chinese tennis player played one match for the national team at the Davis Cup - he dealt with Alex Krivokapic from Montenegro in two games.
Professional qualities
Zhang stands out among Chinese tennis players due to his tall height, which is 193 cm, which makes his style less typical. He does not rely on long draws, but on a powerful serve and a sharp forehand. However, in a suboptimal form, his game loses its effectiveness: serving does not bring easy points, and forehand strikes do not penetrate the opponents' defense.
Current indicators in the tour
Zhang is ranked 50th in the world. Zhizhen has won six titles in his career. He won his last trophy on clay at the challenger, held in Cordenons, Italy.
Interesting facts for betting
Zhang has suffered five defeats in the last five opening matches of the Indore tournaments.
