Zhang—Gali. Prediction for the ATP Marseille match
Zhang and Gali will meet in the first round of the tournament in Marseille on February 11. Things haven't been going well for both tennis players lately, so the upcoming match promises to be tense and unpredictable. But it's worth noting that on the courts of Marseille, Zhang is motivated by defending last year's quarterfinals. Will the Chinese tennis player achieve the same result this season? - the bets for the upcoming match are in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Zhizhen Zhang
ChinaCurrent form
Zhang performed poorly at the Rotterdam tournament last week. He left those competitions following the results of the opening match, in which he lost to Andrei Rublev. In the new season, the 28-year-old Chinese has only two wins in seven matches so far.
Professional qualities
Zhang stands out among Chinese tennis players with his height and relies on serving. In combination with her, he has a powerful forehand, and the game is based on consecutive attacks without much haste. However, his style lacks creativity, which prevents him from successfully resisting top rivals.
Current indicators in the tour
Zhang is the 50th racket of the world at the moment. Zhizhen has won six trophies in his career. He completed the last of them in 2023 at the Asian Games.
Interesting facts for betting
Zhang is last year's quarterfinalist in the Marseille competition.
Quentin Halys
FranceCurrent form
Gali played four matches in the new season, in which he scored only one victory. He played his last tournament at the end of January on the home courts of Montpellier, where he lost to Jesper De Jong in the first round.
Professional qualities
Gali prefers aggressive tennis, relying on a strong serve that has saved him more than once in critical moments. He has a powerful forehand, as well as a combative character — he does not give up after losing games. But poor physical fitness hinders him at Grand Slam tournaments - more often than not, he can't stand protracted duels.
Current indicators in the tour
Gali is the 74th racket of the world. The Frenchman has won 13 tournaments in his career. He won his last title two years ago at the home clay challenger in Blois.
Interesting facts for betting
Gali has won the last five matches against players from China.
