In the match of the 1/16 finals of the clay challenger in Valencia, Ukrainian Alexey Krutykh will play against Italian Riccardo Bonadio.
Riccardo BonadioThe 29-year-old representative of Italy last played for a long time and was recovering from injury.
The last time Bonadio played back in mid-October in qualifying for the ATP home tournament in Naples. Already in the semifinals of qualifying, Bonadio failed and lost in two sets to Zhizhen Zhang from China – 4:6; 2:6. This game was on October 17.
Alexey KrutykhThe 22-year-old representative of Ukraine, in turn, played relatively well for himself at the challenger in Finland last week.
On the hard of the Tough Ones, he made his way to the main draw of the tournament from qualification, but already in the 1/16 finals Alexey got to the Russian tennis player Alexander Shevchenko, to whom he lost in two sets – 2:6; 3:6. This game was on November 15.
Alexey Krutykh and Riccardo Bonadio played together on the tenth of June at the dirt challenger in Bratislava. Then the Italian turned out to be stronger in a very stubborn confrontation – 6:4; 1:6; 7:5.
ForecastThe bookmakers have no favorite in this match.
Bonadio is able to show quite good tennis, especially on the ground. However, the condition of the Italian now raises serious questions. Also, it will be quite difficult for the Cool Ones to rebuild from hard to ground immediately with such an opponent. There should be a fairly stubborn fight here, and therefore we suggest that you put more than 20.5 games on the total.
