We predict the match of the second round of the men’s tournament in Rotterdam. Our expert believes that Marton Fucsovics will at least not yield to his rival Tallon Griekspoor in terms of the number of completed aces.
And again, we turn to the statistical base. We take tennis matches for the last year, held in the hall. Tallon Griekspoor averages 0.59 aces per game and concedes 0.65 from his opponents. Marton Fucsovics performs an average of 0.47 aces per game and receives 0.28 aces per game from opponents. It turns out that the Dutchman is doing better with the service, but the Hungarian is more tenacious at the reception. It seems to me that it is due to this component that Fucsovics still looks like a favorite in this pair.
Today’s rivals have never played against each other in their entire professional career, but they have had three typical competitors on the hard surface over the past year. So we can compare the results. Grikspoor edged out Carlos Alcaraz Garfia on aces with a score of 8-3, and Fucsovics won with a dry score of 7-0. The Dutchman will lose to Djokovic 5-13, but the Hungarian won 8-3. Finally, with Carreno Busta, Grikspor went aces by the world (10-10), and Fucsovics won 6-2. So I still give the advantage to the Hungarian tennis player.
