Professional qualities
Carballes-Baena has achieved his greatest career successes on clay courts. The Spaniard often tries to play positional tennis, minimizing his mistakes while waiting for the opponent's mistakes. He plays hopefully on the back line, but it's difficult for Roberto to get results on the hard court without powerful punches.

Virtanen is an unstable tennis player, but he can play a couple of good matches in a row. Otto feels at his best on fast courts, especially at Indore, where he won three titles last season. The Finn manages to achieve success on a fast surface due to a powerful serve and a tight forehand.
Current indicators in the tour
