Giulio Zeppieri currently sits at rank 344 with a form index of 77.09 and an Elo rating of 387.82. He has accumulated considerable fatigue, totaling 522 minutes on court during the current tournament, which could impact his performance. His surface strength index of 4.22 indicates limited effectiveness on clay, and while his mean serve index is relatively solid at 97.20, his mean return index of 88.46 suggests he may struggle to consistently challenge Alcaraz’s serve. Conversely, Carlos Alcaraz boasts an impressive rank of 3, a form index of 66.60, and a remarkable Elo rating of 6533.20. He enters this match with zero cumulative fatigue, having won his last three matches with ease, all in straight sets. His surface strength index of 59.66 underscores his proficiency on clay, while his mean serve index of 95.13 and mean return index of 88.02 show a robust serving capability and a slightly lower return ability compared to Zeppieri. However, the difference in their serve indices is negligible, making serve strategy critical in this match.
