Match Analysis

Mattia Bellucci, currently ranked 74, has a form index of 38.19 and an Elo rating of 799.07, indicating a moderate level of performance. He has a surface strength index of 6.97, which suggests some proficiency on hard courts. Notably, his mean serve index of 97.39 showcases a solid serving ability, but his mean return index of 86.58 indicates he may struggle against strong opposition. Conversely, Juncheng Shang, ranked 110, has a lower form index of 22.35 and a higher Elo rating of 1003.87. His surface strength index of 9.96 is significantly stronger than Bellucci's, and his mean serve index of 95.77 and return index of 86.36 show that he can effectively compete on this surface. In their recent performances, Bellucci has had mixed results, winning against Francisco Comesana but losing his last match to Jaume Munar. Shang, on the other hand, has faced a series of defeats, including losses to Tomas Martin Etcheverry, James Duckworth, and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, all in hard court competitions. While both players have faced challenges, Bellucci's more recent win may provide him with a slight psychological edge.

Final Prediction

Juncheng Shang's stronger surface strength index and higher Elo rating give him an edge heading into this matchup, despite both players exhibiting inconsistent recent performances. A key factor to watch will be the effectiveness of their serves, particularly how Bellucci's superior mean serve index holds up against Shang's overall game.
