His cumulative fatigue stands at 348 minutes, suggesting he is relatively fresh compared to Struff. Tiafoe's surface strength index of 13.47 and mean serve index of 97.08 highlight his proficiency on hard courts, which is crucial for his game strategy. In contrast, Jan-Lennard Struff, with a form index of 88.56 and a significantly lower Elo rating of 1184.4, has shown resilience in recent matches. However, his cumulative fatigue is notably higher at 870 minutes, possibly impacting his performance. Both players have similar mean return indices, but Tiafoe's superior mean serve index (a difference of over 5 points) may provide him an edge in service games. Over their last three matches, Tiafoe has demonstrated solid form, winning two out of three matches, including two straight-set victories in the tournament thus far. Struff also has shown strong performance, winning all three of his recent matches, but the level of competition he faced was less formidable than Tiafoe's. Struff's victories have been hard-fought, often going the distance, which could exacerbate his fatigue levels.
