Sebastian Ofner as Hugo Gaston. Prediction for the ATP Madrid match

Current form

Ofner has played only nine matches this season due to a leg injury, of which he has won five. Sebastian spent his last tournament at the challenger, held in Madrid, in which he beat Billy Harris in the first round, but then lost to Vilius Gaubas.

Professional qualities

Ofner, with a height of 191 cm, effectively uses this advantage for a powerful serve and a quick set of points. True, the serve doesn't help Sebastian much on the ground, but nevertheless it remains a formidable weapon in his arsenal. At the same time, such a high height affects the Austrian's maneuverability - in terms of moving around the court, he is inferior to more mobile players.

Current indicators in the tour

Ofner is currently the 153rd racket of the world, although he was once the 37th in the world. During his career, the 28-year-old Austrian has won ten trophies, the last of which he completed in 2023, winning the dirt challenger in Salzburg.

Interesting facts for betting

4 of Ofner's last 6 matches ended in three sets.

Current form

Gaston made his way to the main draw of the Madrid competition through qualifying. In the qualifying, Hugo beat Yannick Hanfmann in three sets, and then he dealt with Luca Nardi in two games. The Frenchman has three wins and six losses on clay courts this season.

Professional qualities

Gaston, on the other hand, has a compact build, which limits him in power aspects, especially on high-speed surfaces. However, he makes up for it with excellent reflexes and the ability to maintain a high pace. The Frenchman tries to impose a fight at the expense of speed, but his style requires a lot of physical effort - he often has to spend a lot of time on the move to win one draw, which does not always pay off.

Current indicators in the tour

Last season, Gaston won the dirt challenger in Lyon. It was the eighth title of his career for the Frenchman. In the world ranking, 24-year-old Hugo is currently in 80th place.

Interesting facts for betting

Gaston has won 3 of the last 4 matches in which he was the favorite.
