Command Analysis
Alexander Shevchenko
KazakhstanCurrent form
Shevchenko has won two matches in six duels on the open hard court this season. He played on this surface at the United Cup, the Australian Open and Delray Beach. The representative of Kazakhstan left the last two tournaments following the results of the first round.
Professional qualities
Shevchenko feels very comfortable on the hardboard. His serve can bring him a lot of points, but if the first ball doesn't go, the game becomes difficult for him. Alexander's main weakness is playing defense. He can't stand prolonged pranks and often makes mistakes under pressure from rivals.
Current indicators in the tour
Shevchenko is ranked 98th in the world ranking. Last year, the representative of Kazakhstan was in the top 50. Alexander has won seven trophies in his career. He completed the last one in 2023 at the dirt challenger in Madrid.
Interesting facts for betting
Last season, Shevchenko left Indian Wells after the second round.
Rinky Hijikata
AustraliaCurrent form
Hijikata held his last tournament in Acapulco. He left those competitions pretty quickly, losing in the first round to David Goffin. Rinky has four wins and seven losses on the open hard this season.
Professional qualities
Hijikata has managed to increase his stability in the draws, but he lacks strength in hitting from both sides. He is able to maintain the depth of his strokes, but suffers against tennis players with powerful forehands, who do not leave him time to prepare. Another weak point of the Australian representative remains the pitch.
Current indicators in the tour
Hijikata won the Playford challenger last season. It was his tenth career title. Rincey is currently ranked 83rd in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
The last five matches involving Hijikata ended in two sets.
