Fabio Fognini vs Corentin Moutet Prediction

Fabio Fognini, currently ranked 117, has struggled for form with a low form index of 16.39 and an Elo rating of 544.80. His surface strength index on grass is slightly below average at 6.63, indicating limited effectiveness on this surface. Moutet, positioned at 91 in the rankings, boasts a much stronger form index of 52.35 and an Elo rating of 1069.45, demonstrating a significant performance advantage. Both players have a similar surface strength index at around 6.63, but Moutet's superior overall ranking and form suggest he is more adaptable to the current conditions. Notably, Fognini has a higher mean serve index (96.72) compared to Moutet (95.04), but Moutet's mean return index (88.96) slightly eclipses Fognini's (88.61), indicating a better return game. In their recent performances, Fognini has not won a match in his last three outings, suffering defeats at Roland Garros and Rome, all on clay surfaces. His inability to secure a set in these matches showcases his current struggles. Conversely, Moutet's record is mixed, with a win against Clement Tabur followed by a loss to Novak Djokovic, where he was unable to take a set. Despite his recent loss, Moutet’s victory suggests a more competitive edge going into this match.
