He arrives with zero cumulative fatigue in this event and a surface strength index on hard of 37.17. That hard court serving package is strong, reflected in a mean serve index of 97.01 and a mean return index of 88.70. Over his last three matches at Cincinnati Mensik won two and lost one, including a long three setter and a straight sets win earlier in the week. Mochizuki is ranked 117 with an Elo of 1658.8 and a higher form index of 62.34. He carries heavy tournament fatigue at 522 minutes on court and shows a weaker hard court surface strength index of 13.81. His mean serve index is 92.76 and his mean return index is 89.57. Mochizuki’s recent run at this event has two straight wins followed by a loss to Francesco Passaro in a lengthy match.
