Cythus and Draper. Who should be monitored on the Master in Monte Carlo

Last year Master in Monte Carlo He has become one of the most slow soil tournaments in the European series. According to Tennnis Abstract, the speed of the coating was 0.62, which implies that tennis players perform 38% less than aise than on the average cover of the tour. The lower rate was only a tournament in Barcelona among large championships on the ground during this period of the year.

Since the tournament takes place at the sea level, punching the feeds as powerful as in Madrid, where matches occur at an altitude is much more difficult. In addition, Monte Carlo is often windy. All this makes the tournament a real test for endurance. Players have to draw long draws. Such conditions are favorable for tennis players who are able to think tactically on the court, act in a variety and play rivals physically.

Stephenos Cycations (ATP 8)

If you look at the last tournaments in Monte Carlo, Cythras won three out of the last four titles. It is noteworthy that in 2024 he generally did not show outstanding shape, but it is in this tournament that plays great. The high border of the ball allows it to use Beckhend better, which often looks weak on other coatings. But on the basis, this blow is alive and powerful. Cyenum is also a dangerous serving on any coating and has excellent fortchend. When the game slows down, it can successfully go to the grid and complete the draws in its favor. Given his statistics of victories and defeat in the season – 11: 6, he really approaches the soil part of the season in good tone, which is not always with it. Therefore, it is undoubtedly one of the favorites, despite a complex grid.

Jack Draper (ATP 6)

For the last time, we saw Drapere in a played match against the future Masters champion in Miami Yakub Yakub Menshik, when the Briton was largely conceded because of the powerful serving of the Czech. But after victory in Indian-Vellsi, early departure in Mayam was almost predictable. Currently, Draper intends to prove that it is dangerous on the soil. One of the reasons for his success is the incredible forthand with a strong rotation that causes the opponents to run a lot on the court and pulls them further from the back line. It is the high border of the ball on the soil that will benefit him. Its flat Beckhend is able to complete the draws and the feed is one of the best in the round. Madrid may be more suitable for height and left -handed, but even here he may well reach the semifinals, winning Kasper Rud on the way. And there will already be visible.
