Aleksandar Vukic vs Marko Topo Prediction

Aleksandar Vukic, currently ranked 79, presents a formidable challenge with a form index of 32.39 and an Elo rating of 764.84. His surface strength index of 7.15 indicates strong adaptability on hard courts, while a mean serve index of 97.56 and a mean return index of 86.11 further highlight his capabilities. In contrast, Marko Topo, ranked 270, has a higher form index of 47.92 but a significantly lower Elo rating of 185.64. Topo's surface strength index stands at 1.53, reflecting a lesser proficiency on hard courts, and while his mean serve index is decent at 96.11, his mean return index of 87.66 is slightly better than Vukic's. The difference in serve indices (1.45) is not substantial enough to be a decisive factor. Recent performances show that Vukic has struggled, losing his last three matches, including tough encounters against higher-ranked opponents. Conversely, Topo has found some success, winning his last two matches in Almaty, boosting his confidence. However, he also faced fatigue with 219 minutes accumulated in the current tournament, which could affect his performance against Vukic.
