LiontipsBasilashvili - Utiyama: prediction and bets on the ATP Indian Wells match
Command Analysis
Current form
Basilashvili beat Christopher Eubanks 6-2, 6-4 in the first round of qualifying in Inidan Wells. Nikoloz did not make a single ace in the match against the American, made four break points and lost one game on his serve. For the representative of Georgia, this was the fourth victory on the open hard court this season with three defeats.
Professional qualities
Basilashvili professes an attacking style, preferring to play as aggressively as possible. However, this approach requires perfect physical fitness, and when conditions decline, it leads to a large number of unforced errors. Nevertheless, Nikoloz is in excellent shape right now, and his forehand and backhand are working superbly.
Current indicators in the tour
Last season Basilashvili won the tournament in Seoul. It was the 21st title of his career for him, including five in the ATP category. Nikoloz is currently in 152nd place in the world ranking.
Interesting facts for betting
Basilashvili has won only one match in the last four matches.
Current form
Uchiyama defeated Josef Kovalik (6-4, 6-4) in the first round of qualifying at Indian Wells. Yasutaka made eight aces during the match, made two break points and did not lose a single game on his serve. For the Japanese, it was his third win this season on the open hard court, with four losses.
Professional qualities
One of Uchiyama's key trump cards is his powerful first serve. Despite his rare performances on clay, Yasutaka does not avoid long draws. When attacking with a forehand, the ball flies deep under the back line, which makes it more difficult for opponents to receive. The Japanese is good at open hard, but all his successes are related exclusively to the challengers.
Current indicators in the tour
Uchiyama is ranked 160th in the world rankings. During his career, the Japanese tennis player has won 16 trophies. Last season, he won in Busan and Zhangjiagang.
Interesting facts for betting
