Alexei Popyrin vs Martin Landaluce Prediction

Alexei Popyrin enters this match with a solid form index of 46.38 and an Elo rating of 1457.41, indicating a competitive edge in terms of skill and recent performance. His surface strength index of 14.69 reflects his adaptability on hard courts, while his mean serve index of 97.83 is significantly higher than Landaluce's 93.20, showcasing a powerful serve that may prove decisive. Additionally, Popyrin's mean return index of 86.70 also surpasses Landaluce's 88.21, although the difference is minimal. On the other hand, Landaluce's cumulative fatigue of 475 minutes suggests he may be feeling the toll of previous matches more than Popyrin, who has zero fatigue from this tournament. In their recent performances, Popyrin has had a mixed bag, winning two out of his last three matches, including a challenging encounter against Alexander Zverev. Conversely, Landaluce has shown resilience by winning all three of his recent matches in Cincinnati, albeit against lower-ranked opponents. The intensity and stamina required in a Masters 1000 event may test Landaluce, especially considering his fatigue level.
