Command Analysis

Safiullin has performed mediocre in recent tournaments. In Toronto and Cincinnati, he was predicted to pass the first round, but in the second round he was beaten by the tops. In Canada, the Russian lost to Kasper Ruud, and in the USA to Holger Rune.

Roman didn't remember anything special about open hard court matches this season. His best result is considered to be reaching the third round of the Miami Masters.

Christopher O'Connell

At the tournament in Toronto, O'Connell showed a good game. Then the Australian managed to pass the Price and Tsitsipas. However, Christopher did not show up for the third round match, as he was injured.

O'Connell competed twice in Winston-Salem, but did not go beyond the second round. Last season he lost to Artur Rinderknech here.
