Command Analysis
Thiago Monteiro
BrazilCurrent form
Monteiro has 12 wins and seven losses on clay this season. Last week, Thiago took part in the challenger in Oeiras, which he left quite quickly, losing in the first round to Elmer Moller.
Professional qualities
Monteiro prefers an exhausting style of play, which does not always work effectively on high-speed courts. Despite his impressive serve, his backhand play often becomes a vulnerable element, especially in protracted draws. Another vulnerable point in Tiago's game is the reception of the opponent's serve. On slow surfaces, especially on dirt, Monteiro feels confident, which he actually already managed to demonstrate in March, when he played in the finals at two challengers in a row.
Current indicators in the tour
Monteiro has won 14 trophies in his career. The 30-year-old Brazilian won the last one in 2023 at the dirt challenger in Campinas. Tiago is currently ranked 94th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Monteiro has won 7 of the last 10 matches.
Mitchell Krueger
USACurrent form
Kruger took part in the home challenger in Tallahassee last week, during which he managed to reach the quarterfinals - at this stage he lost to Mathis Erhard.
Professional qualities
Kruger had never been in the top 100 of the world rankings before in his career, although the American has a huge potential. On the hard courts, Mitchell demonstrates the highest quality tennis - he is fast, tactically competent and knows how to use his strengths. The forehand is his main weapon, while the backhand is also quite stable. The American's serve is not the most powerful, but it is accurate and reliable.
Current indicators in the tour
Kruger won two open hard court challenges last season - he won the Indian Wells competition and won in Little Rock. In total, the 31-year-old American has won nine trophies in his career. Mitchell is currently ranked 150th in the world.
Interesting facts for betting
4 of Kruger's last 6 matches were played in two sets.
