Alessandro Giannessi - Mikhail Kukushkin

ATP Challenger in Bratislava. Nothing fancy, nothing serious, but this bet isn't so bad.. Only 3 matches on monday and i chosed this match like most valuable.

Alessandro Gianessi (138) - Italian player, who is out of top100 for some time. Players like Alessandro is very unpleasant for other players, they play very strategly game, they use same shots over and over. What shots? Well, Italian like to spin ball, hit low balls and drain opponent patience and energy. In A. Gianessi game we see a lot of different things, but most often we see him struggling to win easy and to loose easy. Anyway he is good on many surfaces and can compete with all players.

Mikhail Kukushkin (79) - Player from Kazakhstan, who is very good player, very talented, but unfortunately not lucky at all. He can player really well on court, but his health always on question, one match he can be very healthy and on the other match he will be injured. Mikhail is Tall player, with solid serve, good thinking and motivation, at best shape he can compete with elite players, but often he is not healthy enough for it. He had few good challenger events and some good ATP level tournament , he played well on other tournaments like Us open and he made in top 100 again.

In the end - Both players want to collect some points before winter break, so they will try to play good, also they will try something new, look up before new season.
