LiontipsRinki Hijikata - Fabio Fognini: prediction and bets on the ATP Madrid match
Command Analysis
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.
Current form
Fognini broke Alexander Ritchard's resistance in the first round of qualifying in Madrid - 6-1, 7-6. Fabio made three aces, made four break points and lost two games on his serve against the Swiss. The Italian has one win and three losses on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Fognini, despite not being the tallest, is able to punch powerfully from both sides. However, he lacks stability on the pitch - double mistakes happen quite often. At his best, Fabio plays aggressively and is very mobile during the match. Nevertheless, the Italian's physical fitness this season is far from ideal due to his age, which affects his endurance and level of play at a distance.
Current indicators in the tour
Fognini was once in the top 10 of the world ranking, but now he is in 112th place. Last season, the Italian veteran won the dirt challenger in Montemara. For Fabio, it was the 20th title of his career.
Interesting facts for betting
Fognini has won only 1 of the last 6 matches.

2.29Tip and bets
It's hard to believe in Fognini, who has only won two matches this season. Fabio, due to his age, is not as fast as he used to be, so it is difficult for him to play matches against more resilient opponents. We believe that Hijikata will be able to pass the Italian veteran and enter the main draw of the Madrid Masters.
