Justin Engel currently holds a rank of 281 and has a form index of 33.7, indicating a challenging season thus far. His Elo rating of approximately 215.83 and a surface strength index of 1.02 suggest he may struggle on grass. Engel's mean serve index is 98.51, and his return index is 88.80, showing a decent serving ability but a relatively weaker return game. His recent performances include a loss to Andrey Rublev on clay, but he did manage to secure a victory against Jan-Lennard Struff, which could provide him with some confidence. In contrast, James Duckworth is ranked 94 with a higher form index of 39.45 and a significantly better Elo rating of around 490.95. Duckworth's fatigue level is notably higher at 229 minutes, but he has demonstrated resilience, winning his last two matches in Stuttgart against Nikoloz Basilashvili and Benjamin Hassan.
