Command Analysis
Raphael Collignon
BelgiumCurrent form
Collignon made his way to the main draw in Hamburg through qualifying. In the selection, Rafael confidently dealt with both Patrick Zahrai and Daniel Dutra Da Silva. In total, the Belgian has ten wins and four losses on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Collignon is a young Belgian who shows great promise, especially in playing on clay courts. His game is based on stable and competent work on the back line. He prefers to control the game through long draws, where he waits for the right moment to attack. In the Belgian's arsenal, it is worth highlighting a stable forehand and an equally stable backhand, but both strikes lack serious power.
Current indicators in the tour
Collignon has won two trophies this season - at Indore he won in Po and on clay he won the challenger, held in Monza. In total, the 23-year-old Belgian has won 12 trophies in his career. Rafael is currently ranked 86th in the world rankings.
Interesting facts for betting
Collignon has won 8 of the last 10 matches.
Brandon Nakashima
USACurrent form
Nakashima last week took part in competitions in Bordeaux, which he left after the quarterfinal match, at which stage he lost to Nikoloz Basilashvili. Brandon has five wins and six losses on clay this season.
Professional qualities
Nakashima's strengths are proven technique, calmness in key moments of the match, and the ability to play both at high tempo and defensively. He does not seek excessive aggression, but acts rationally, competently arranging his pranks. Brandon prefers a wait-and-see tactic, in which he can simply put up with an opponent in a backline game.
Current indicators in the tour
Nakashima has won eight trophies in his career, including two in the ATP category. Last season, the 23-year-old American scored an open hard court victory in Tenerife. Brandon is currently ranked 29th in the world rankings.
