Command Analysis

Rinky Hijikata

Hijikata got into the main draw of the competition in Almaty as a lucky loser. In the first round, he defeated local tennis player Timofey Skatov in three sets, winning a tense first game in a tie-break (7-6, 2-6, 6-3). For the 24-year-old Australian, it was his third victory on indoor hard court this season, with two losses.

Flavio Cobolli

Kobolli has shown a good game so far this season only on clay courts. It was on clay that Flavio won two tournaments this year - he successfully won back in Bucharest and Hamburg. The 23-year-old Italian has scored three wins and three losses on indoor hard court this season. Kobolli is currently in 22nd place in the world ranking.

Tip and bets

TipHijikata with a handicap (+4)

1.74

Kobolli has not been impressive in his game lately - at the recent Shanghai Masters, the Italian even managed to lose dry in the first round to the professional grounder Munyar. We do not think that the start of the competition in Almaty will be easy for Flavio.

Our prediction is Hijikata's victory with a handicap of (+4) games for a coefficient of 1.74
