Rinki Hijikata as Fabio Fognini. Prediction for the ATP Madrid match

Current form

Hijikata reached the final of the qualification in Madrid on the refusal of Lloyd Harris, who withdrew from the match with the score 4-6, 7-6, 1-4. In 2 hours and 24 minutes of playing time, the Australian tennis player completed seven aces, made four break points and lost two games on his serve. It was Rinka's first clay court victory this season, with two losses.

Professional qualities

Hijikata's punches, both forehand and backhand, do not stand out with any special force or depth, and sharp corners appear only sporadically in draws. Rinky prefers to play on the back line, demonstrating good movement around the court, but does not have shots that can seriously disturb the opponent. In addition, his serve often fails, especially in his own games, where he does not always cope with pressure from opponents.

Current indicators in the tour

Hijikata won the open hard court at Playford last season. It was the tenth title of his career for the 24-year-old Australian. Rinkie is currently ranked 84th in the world rankings.

Interesting facts for betting

5 of Hijikata's last 6 matches were played in three sets.
