LiontipsBasilashvili - McDonald: prediction and bets on the Miami ATP match
Command Analysis
Current form
Basilashvili left the last two tournaments following the results of the first round. At Indian Wells, he successfully overcame qualifying, but then lost to Marcos Girone in the first round. At the challenger in Phoenix, Nikolaza passed the same scenario - he successfully overcame the selection, but lost in the first round to Corentin Muta. The Georgian tennis player has seven wins and five losses on the open hard court.
Professional qualities
Basilashvili is distinguished by his endurance and confidently conducts protracted sweepstakes. His serve can earn him easy points and help him seize the initiative in most draws, but its stability leaves much to be desired. An important weapon in Nikoloz's game is a powerful forehand, which allows him to actively disperse the ball if necessary.
Current indicators in the tour
Basilashvili is the former 16th racket of the world. At the moment, the Georgian tennis player is in 144th place in the world ranking. Nikoloz has won five ACP titles in his career. He won his last trophy last season, winning the challenger in Seoul.
Interesting facts for betting
Basilashvili has won 4 of the last 6 matches.
Current form
McDonald held his last tournament in Indian Wells. In the framework of that Masters, he beat Alejandro Davidovich-Fokina in the first round, but then lost to Francisco Cherundolo. McKenzie has scored eight wins and five losses on the open hard court this season.
Professional qualities
McDonald prefers to play on the back line, earning points through accurate shots. He tries to direct the ball low over the net and wide across the court to control the draws. The American's serve is average, with no outstanding performance. At the same time, in Mackenzie's game, one can single out a forehand, which can be called stable.
Current indicators in the tour
McDonald is currently in 101st place in the world rankings, although he was once the 37th racket of the world. During his career, the American has won six trophies. Last season, he won the open hardboard challenge in Shenzhen.
