LiontipsDusan Lajovic vs Flavio Kobolli: prediction and bets on the Monte Carlo ATP match
Command Analysis
Current form
Lajovic made his way to the main draw of the Monte Carlo competition through qualifying. Dusan beat Alexander Bublik in three games and defeated Laszlo Gyor in two sets. The Serb has six wins and four losses on clay courts this season.
Professional qualities
Lajovic most often plays from the opponent. He expects mistakes from his opponents, while he himself carefully plays on the back line without any sudden movements. This style of play is ideal for clay courts. It is on clay that the Serb has achieved the most significant results in his career - for example, in Monte Carlo, Dusan reached the finals in 2019 earlier in his career.
Current indicators in the tour
Lajovic was once ranked 23rd in the world, but now he is ranked 109th in the world rankings. During his career, the 34-year-old Serb has won two ATP titles. He completed the last of them in 2023 on the ground in Banja Luka.

7 of Lajovic's last 8 matches were played in two sets.
Current form

1.86Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, a lot will depend on whether Kobolli has time to recover after an intense and emotionally demanding week in Bucharest. In any case, Flavio is not expected to have an easy walk - Lajovic is traditionally strong on slow ground. Nevertheless, we still believe that the final victory will go to the younger Italian - in the fight, most likely, he will be able to break the resistance of the Serb.
