Otto Virtanen vs Tomas Martin Etcheverry Prediction

Otto Virtanen, currently ranked 101, has a form index of 50.82 and an Elo rating of 626.07, reflecting a mid-tier performance level. His surface strength index of 5.89 suggests that grass is not his most favorable surface. In contrast, Tomas Martin Etcheverry, ranked 62, exhibits a stronger profile with a form index of 36.63 and a significantly higher Elo rating of 1183.59. Etcheverry also boasts a surface strength index of 10.48, indicating a better adaptation to grass. Notably, Virtanen's mean serve index of 96.77 is marginally higher than Etcheverry's 95.87, but their mean return indices are closely matched, with Virtanen at 86.33 and Etcheverry at 87.03. Examining recent performances, Virtanen has struggled, losing two of his last three matches, including a recent defeat at Roland Garros. His only win was against Antoine Escoffier in the earlier rounds of the same tournament. Conversely, Etcheverry has faced tough competition, notably losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas in his last match but securing a victory against Jiri Lehecka in Hamburg. This contrast in recent form may influence the outcome, as Virtanen's momentum appears to be lacking.
