LiontipsDusan Lajovic - Carlos Alcaraz: prediction and bets on the ATP Rome match
Command Analysis
Current form
Lajovic settled in two sets with Yoshihito Nishioka 7-5, 6-1 in the first round of the Masters in Rome. Dusan made five aces, made four break points and lost one game on his serve in a duel against the Japanese tennis player. For the Serb, it was his 13th victory on clay this season, with eight losses.
Professional qualities
Lajovic prefers slow tennis, without excessive haste, relying on reliable play on the back line. The Serb's main weapon is the forehand. At the same time, Dusan's one-handed backhand shows better stability on the ground, while on fast surfaces it often becomes a vulnerable element, especially when the game is played at high speeds.

Lajovic has won two ATP trophies in his career. The 34-year-old Serb won his last title in 2023, winning the competition in Banja Luka. Dusan is currently ranked 131st in the world rankings, although he was once 23rd in the world.
