Joao Fonseca vs Jack Draper Prediction

Joao Fonseca, currently ranked 65, showcases a form index of 66.20 and an Elo rating of 1194. His cumulative fatigue stands at 348 minutes, reflecting the physical toll of the tournament thus far. His surface strength index is 9.10, and he possesses a mean serve index of 96.08 and a mean return index of 87.02. On the other hand, Jack Draper, sitting comfortably at rank 5, boasts a form index of 78.27 and a substantially higher Elo rating of 2753. Draper shares the same fatigue level of 348 minutes but has a superior surface strength index of 20.94. His mean serve index of 95.76 and mean return index of 87.52 reveal his capability on clay, although the difference between their serve indices is marginal, with only a 0.32-point gap. In their recent performances, Fonseca has won both his last matches at Roland Garros, defeating Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Hubert Hurkacz without dropping a set. However, he faced a setback in his match prior to this tournament in Rome against Fabian Marozsan. Draper, conversely, has also secured victories in his last two matches against Gael Monfils and Mattia Bellucci, although he suffered a loss to Carlos Alcaraz in Rome. Both players are coming off strong victories, but Draper's recent form and higher ranking may provide him with a psychological edge.
