In the quarterfinals of the clay challenger in Poland, Russian tennis player Alexander Shevchenko will play against Spaniard Roberto Carballes-Baena.
Roberto Carballes-BaenaThe 29-year-old representative of Spain, after winning the dirt challenger in Seville, is confidently moving towards a second consecutive title.
Recall that in the final of the tournament in Seville, which was on the tenth of September, Carballes-Baena beat his compatriot Bernabe Zapata-Miralles in two sets, which became a small sensation – 6:3; 7:6 (8:6). At the tournament in Spain, Roberto lost a set to Miljan Zekic from Serbia in only five matches in the first of them.
At the tournament in Poland, where Carballes-Baena started on September 13, in the 1/16 finals, Roberto again met with Serbian Miljan Zekic, this time the Spaniard was stronger in two sets – 7:5; 6:1. And the day before yesterday in the 1/8 finals, Roberto defeated Pole Daniel Michalski – 6:1; 6:2. At the same time, in the second set, Carballes-Baena made three breaks and managed to lose a game once on his serve. The tennis players spent one hour and fifteen minutes on the court.
Alexander ShevchenkoThe 21-year-old Russian tennis player, in turn, made a sensation the day before yesterday.
In the 1/8 finals, Shevchenko was able to win a crushing victory over Marco Cecchinato from Italy in two sets – 6:2; 6:2. In both sets, Alexander made two breaks. As a result, the tennis players spent one hour and five minutes on the court.
ForecastIn this match, Roberto Carballes-Baena is of course considered by the bookmakers to be an almost unconditional favorite.
At the same time, with such a busy schedule, the Spaniard may soon "sink", but Shevchenko has already proved that he is in good shape. For Alexander, this is a good challenge and here he should try to show all his skills. We suggest that you bet more than 20.5 games on the total.
