Felix Auger-Aliassime, currently ranked 28th, possesses a solid form index of 49.47 and an Elo rating of 1430.26. His surface strength index of 12.27 indicates a moderate proficiency on grass, but his mean serve index of 97.81 suggests a powerful serve that could be pivotal in this matchup. On the other hand, James Duckworth, ranked 103, has a slightly higher form index of 49.73 and a significantly lower Elo rating of 495.00, reflecting a disparity in overall performance levels. Duckworth's surface strength index is notably lower at 5.76, which may hinder his effectiveness on this grass surface. The mean serve index of Duckworth at 96.38 is close to Auger-Aliassime’s, but his mean return index of 83.81 falls short compared to Felix’s 85.68, highlighting an edge for Auger-Aliassime in return game capabilities. In their recent performances, Auger-Aliassime has had mixed results, winning 2 out of his last 3 matches with his most recent encounter resulting in a loss. His victory against Hamad Medjedovic demonstrated his potential on grass, while Duckworth has also been inconsistent, winning just 1 out of his last 3 matches. Both players have shown the ability to compete, but Auger-Aliassime's recent struggles may give Duckworth a glimmer of hope.
