Command Analysis
Juan Manuel Cerundolo
ArgentinaCurrent form
Cherundolo made his way to the main draw of the Madrid competition through qualifying. In the qualifying, Juan Manuel beat Thiago Seibot Wilde in two sets and then defeated Botik Van de Sandschulp in three games. This season, the Argentine has 19 wins on clay with ten losses.
Professional qualities
Cherundolo stands out for his excellent movement speed on the court and stable forehand play. In his manner, he relies on flat shots, but lately he has begun to introduce more variability - he has begun to use shortened balls more often and go to the net. Despite this, the soil remains its main coating.
Current indicators in the tour
Cherundolo won his last trophy at the dirt challenger, which took place in Antofagasta. It was the 14th title of his career for him. In the world ranking, 23-year-old Juan Manuel is currently in 126th place.

Cherundolo has scored seven wins in the last ten matches.
Aleksandar Kovacevic

Kovacevic has played only one tournament on clay this season. He played it on the courts of Houston, during which he managed to reach the quarterfinals - at this stage Alexander lost to Jenson Brooksby.
Professional qualities
Kovacevic won his first career ATP title this season. Alexander has a strong serve that allows him to score easy points. However, in protracted draws, his game often fails. The American is clearly focused on hard courts, where his style is most effective, although it is worth recalling that he managed to reach the quarterfinals in Houston on clay this season.
Current indicators in the tour
In March, Kovacevich won the open hard court competition in Cap Caen. For the 26-year-old American, it was the first major ATP title of his career. Alexander is currently in 77th place in the world ranking.
