Notably, Musetti's mean serve index of 96.92 gives him a slight edge over Michelsen, whose mean serve index is 95.95. Additionally, Musetti's mean return index of 88.29 provides a more substantial advantage over Michelsen's 88.75, although the difference is within a 5-point margin. On the other hand, Alex Michelsen, ranked 34th, has a lower form index of 37.72 and an Elo rating of 1145.51, reflecting a less consistent performance level.
