The bagel is Watanuki. Prediction for the ATP Indian Wells match
Bublik and Watanuki will meet in the first round of the Indian Wells tournament on March 6. Bublik doesn't have the best stats this season, with just two wins and seven losses. What is Alexander capable of on the courts of Indian Wells? - the bets for this match are in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Alexander Bublik
KazakhstanCurrent form
Bublik still can't find his rhythm this season. Alexander has only two wins in nine matches this year. He held his last tournament in Dubai, where he lost to Felix Auger-Alliassim in the first round.
Professional qualities
This season, the Bagel loses more than it wins. But despite this, it's easy to see the strengths in his game. First of all, it's a powerful serve that remains a stable element of his arsenal. Two more important aspects of his style are creativity and a love of risky decisions. However, these qualities do not always work in his favor: non-standard moves sometimes lead to tactical mistakes, and excessive risk-taking results in an abundance of unforced errors.
Current indicators in the tour
Bublik is getting closer to leaving the top 100 of the world ranking. Alexander is now the 82nd in the world, although he was once 17th. Last season, the representative of Kazakhstan won the indore tournament, which was held in Montpellier. It was the fourth ATP title of his career for him.
Interesting facts for betting
Last season, Bublik reached the third round at Indian Wells.
Yosuke Watanuki
JapanCurrent form
Watanuki made his way to the main draw of the Indian Wells tournament through qualifying. In the selection, Yosuke beat Mattia Bellucci and Rudy Kuan. In total, the Japanese has scored five wins with three losses on the open hard court this season.
Professional qualities
Watanuki clearly lacks experience in matches against top tennis players. Right now, the Japanese is betting on aggressive tennis, with powerful shots from both sides and a good first serve. But even such a set was sometimes not enough for a confident game, even on the challengers.
Current indicators in the tour
Watanuki is outside the third hundred in the world ranking, at 349th place. Yosuke has won nine titles in his career. He won his last trophy at the domestic challenger in Yokohama in 2023.
Interesting facts for betting
7 of Watanuki's last 8 matches have been played in two sets.
