Leandro Riedi vs Francisco Cerundolo Prediction

Leandro Riedi, currently ranked 436, has demonstrated impressive form in the tournament with a form index of 82.11. His Elo rating sits significantly lower at 513.86, indicating a disparity in experience and skill level compared to his opponent. While Riedi has shown resilience, his cumulative fatigue of 522 minutes on court could impact his performance. In contrast, Francisco Cerundolo holds a much stronger ranking of 19 and an Elo rating of 1438.04, showcasing his prowess in the game. With a surface strength index of 13.44, Cerundolo is better suited to excel on hard courts, while Riedi's surface strength index is only 4.86. Notably, Cerundolo's mean return index of 89.31 exceeds Riedi's 85.73 by more than 5 points, indicating a potential advantage in returning serves. In their recent matches, Riedi has been on a winning streak, dominating his last three opponents without dropping a set, all in the same tournament. However, Cerundolo's last match resulted in a loss against Alexander Zverev, but he secured a victory against Tomas Martin Etcheverry and Jaume Munar prior to that. This inconsistency suggests that while Cerundolo is capable of high-level play, he may need to regain his top form to secure a win against Riedi.
