Daniel Altmaier vs Taylor Fritz Prediction

Currently ranked 71st, Daniel Altmaier has a form index of 26.47 and an Elo rating of 832.29. His surface strength index of 7.40 indicates limited effectiveness on clay, while his mean serve index stands at 97.59, slightly higher than his mean return index of 87.98. In contrast, Taylor Fritz, ranked 4th, boasts a stronger form index of 41.37 and an impressive Elo rating of 4432.97. Fritz's surface strength index of 38.49 highlights his superior performance on clay. Notably, the difference in their mean serve index is marginal, but Fritz's mean return index of 86.77 suggests Altmaier may face challenges in returning Fritz's serves effectively, as the difference is within 5 points. Examining recent performances, Altmaier has struggled, losing all his last three matches, including defeats against Felix Auger-Aliassime, Francisco Comesana, and Nicolas Jarry, where he failed to win a set. Fritz, on the other hand, has a mixed record; although he lost to Hubert Hurkacz in his last match, he secured a victory against Quentin Halys in the match prior. His earlier loss to Marcos Giron further illustrates some inconsistency but does not overshadow his overall competitive edge.
