Zapata Miralles Eyes Big Win
Bernabe Zapata Miralles plays his best tennis on clay and it’s not even close. All 13 of his wins this year have come on clay while his record away from clay is 0-5. Being from Spain, he grew up on this surface and he plays his best tennis on it.
Rome hasn’t been an event where he played before as his previous participation ended in the qualifiers a few years ago. He’s a far better player right now than he was a few years ago and he’s actually favoured to win this match by virtue of being better ranked.
His form has been all over the place but generally, if you get him on a clay court, he’ll produce a really solid level. The He is really quick around the court, he can play both aggressively and defend if he needs to though he prefers to play more attacking.
Sometimes that can cause him to hit many errors and it’s not uncommon for him to play three sets so that’s something to look out for.

Kubler Upsets Huesler
It was not a major upset from the Australian but it still was one because many expected Marc-Andrea Huesler to win the match. He won the first set but Kubler was able to comeback and win the match in three.
A very impressive showing from Kubler who had 20 wins on clay last year although not that many this year. He doesn’t play his best tennis on this surface but he can play really well if he tries to.
The basic idea around Kubler is that he’s really solid overall. There is nothing major that jumps out in his game as spectacular but hes’ just really solid in everything he does. The serve is pretty good and might be his best weapon when it’s working.
It’s somewhat important here in Rome and he could use it to keep the match snappy. Zapata is best when he finds a good rhythm and if Kubler can deny him that he will be in a good spot.
