Match Analysis

David Goffin currently holds a rank of 87, slightly above Vukic, who is ranked 93. Goffin's Elo rating stands at 876.75, significantly higher than Vukic’s 679.45, indicating a more established performance level. However, Vukic boasts a higher surface strength index (6.38) compared to Goffin's (10.04), which might suggest he can adapt well to hard surfaces. Both players show no signs of fatigue, as their cumulative fatigue from the current tournament is at 0.0 minutes. In terms of serve and return capabilities, Goffin's mean serve index (95.25) is marginally lower than Vukic's (97.47), but his mean return index (89.13) surpasses Vukic’s (86.36) by over 5 points. This edge in return strength could play a crucial role in the match. Analyzing their recent performances, both players have struggled, each losing their last three matches. Vukic's last match was a tightly contested affair against Jenson Brooksby, while Goffin has faced tough opponents like Lorenzo Musetti, both ultimately falling short.

Final Prediction

Goffin's higher Elo rating and superior return index provide him with a slight advantage heading into this matchup. The key factor to monitor will be how effectively each player can leverage their serve and return capabilities, particularly Goffin's ability to capitalize on Vukic's returns.
