Command Analysis

Carlos Taberner

Current form
Taberner made his way into the main draw of the Rome Masters through qualifying. In the selection, Carlos scored victories over Adrian Mannarino and Jamie Faria. This season, the Spaniard had 19 wins and eight losses on clay.
Professional qualities
Taberner feels most confident on clay courts, where he can maximize his playing style. He knows how to vary the tempo - he is able to actively put pressure on the opponent with aggressive strikes, as well as play defensively, waiting for a convenient moment for a counterattack. One of the Spaniard's main trump cards remains his serve, which is powerful and stable.
Current indicators in the tour
Taberner currently holds the 139th place in the world ranking. The 27-year-old Spaniard has won 11 titles in his career. This season, he added to his trophy collection by winning the dirt challenger in Murcia.

Aleksandar Kovacevic

Current form
Kovacevic played his last tournament in Estoril. In the framework of that challenger, he failed to overcome the first round, losing to Luca Nardi. On the dirt surface this season, Alexander has won two and suffered three defeats.
Professional qualities
Kovacevic relies on power tennis, where his impressive serve plays a key role - one of the main sources of aces and easy points. In the draws, he acts aggressively, aggressively attacking from the forehand and using a spectacular, but not always reliable one-handed backhand. Despite the spectacular nature of this blow, it is Alexander's backhand that remains a vulnerable spot in his arsenal.
Current indicators in the tour
Kovacevic has won one ATP trophy in his career. He designed it this season at the challenger in Cap-Can. In the world ranking, the 26-year-old American is currently in 80th place.
