LiontipsHugo Gaston - Nicolas Harry: prediction and bets on the ATP Rome match
Command Analysis
Current form
Gaston took part in the home challenger in Aix-en-Provence last week and was unable to finish the first round match against Borna Goyo due to a minor injury to his hand. The Frenchman has three wins and eight losses this season.
Professional qualities
Gaston builds his game on technique and cunning, often surprising his opponents with unexpected shortened punches. Hugo is left-handed, which creates an additional advantage in draws against right-handers with a weak backhand. Despite not having the most powerful and stable serve due to his short stature, the Frenchman is confident in defense and has a high-quality reception game.
Current indicators in the tour
Gaston has won eight trophies in his career, including none of the ATP titles. Last season, Hugo won the home clay challenger in Lyon. The 24-year-old Frenchman is currently ranked 78th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Gaston has lost in 5 of the last 7 matches.
Current form
Harry competed in Estoril last week. In the framework of that tournament, Nicholas managed to reach the quarterfinals - at this stage he lost to Andrea Pellegrino. This season, the Chilean has scored four wins and eight losses on clay.
Professional qualities
Harry, despite his commitment to clay courts, does not look like a typical South American defensive player. The Chilean still prefers to play aggressively, betting on a powerful serve and a tight forehand. Nicholas' backhand punches are also stable, but they don't have much power.
Current indicators in the tour
Harry is currently ranked 53rd in the world. During his career, the 29-year-old Chilean has won three ATP trophies. Nicholas completed the last of them in 2023 at a tournament in Geneva, which was held on clay courts.
Interesting facts for betting
Harry was a finalist at the Rome Masters last year.

1.71Tip and bets
Harry is motivated on the courts of Rome by defending last year's final. That's quite a lot of ranking points, and if he fails to defend them, he'll most likely leave the top 100 in the world rankings. His opponent in the first round is not difficult - Gaston is not in the best playing conditions right now, and last week he was unable to finish the first round match in Aix-en-Provence against Goyo.
Our prediction is that Harry will win with a handicap of (-2) games by a factor of 1.88
Bet on the total
Harry is the clear favorite in this matchup, which, let's remind, needs to defend last year's final on the courts of Rome. We believe that this meeting will be dictated by Nicholas and he will confidently deal with Gaston in two sets.
The second betting tip is a total of less than 23 games for a coefficient of 1.83
Bet on the first set
In three of Harry's last five matches, he played less than 9.5 games in the first set. Most likely, the upcoming meeting against Gaston will also start with the grassroots first game.
