Huesler’s Down Year
Huesler has not been playing that well this year posting a 10-13 record so far. Even a return to clay didn’t do much for him as he’s only 2-4 this year which is far from the impressive 20-6 record he posted last year. He does very well on this surface and has done for much of his career however that’s not been the case this year.
He scored a few wins this year though recently he hasn’t been able the necessary level to beat some decent player. He lost to Thiem in Munich and Garin in Madrid.
Perhaps a trip to Rome inspires him to play better as this is the first time he will play there. It’s conditions that will suit him but only if he’s able to serve well.
Everything starts and begins with the serve and if he doesn’t produce a good effort in that regard he will be in trouble.

Kubler Struggling on Clay
Kubler struggling on clay is a surprise because he went 20-5 on that surface last year though many of those matches were played in the US version of clay which is quite a bit different. He can play okay on surface but don’t expect him to score wins over good players.
He lost to Lorenzo Musetti in Barcelona and to Dusan Lajovic in Madrid which shows that most decent players on clay will have an upper hand on it. It’s been an okay year so far for him with a 14-10 record however he’s 0-2 on European clay.
This too will be the first time he’s playing in Rome so he’ll need some time to get used to the conditions. It’s not a condition that he’ll enjoy that much but considering that his opponent is struggling like him he could fancy his chances.
He will need to outplay Huesler from the baseline if he wants to win that match and that will be very hard to do. His opponent has more power than him so he’ll need to opt for precision.
Huesler v Kubler Prediction and Tip
It’s a tricky one to call but odds favour Kubler slightly. I tend to agree but don’t find much reason to back so will opt for the safe option of over.
Tips:
- Moderate Risk Tip: Over 20.5 games in the match: 5/6
