Shintaro Mochizuki is currently ranked 144th, with a form index of 70.38 and an Elo rating of 419.45. Despite showing decent performance in the tournament, his cumulative fatigue at 522 minutes on court may hinder his effectiveness. Mochizuki’s surface strength index stands at 3.69, while his mean serve index is 95.08, and his mean return index is 90.35. On the other hand, Giulio Zeppieri, ranked 351st, boasts a higher form index of 86.33 and an Elo rating of 453.06. His fatigue level is lower at 348 minutes, and he has a surface strength index of 3.03. Notably, Zeppieri has a marginally better mean serve index of 95.43, but his mean return index of 88.34 illustrates a more considerable gap compared to Mochizuki’s return capabilities. In their recent performances, Mochizuki has shown resilience, winning all three of his last matches at Wimbledon, including a notable victory over Dominic Stricker. Conversely, Zeppieri has also demonstrated strong form, winning his last two matches at Wimbledon, showcasing his ability to compete effectively on grass. However, his earlier defeat against Carlos Alcaraz at Roland Garros may suggest vulnerabilities against higher-ranked opponents.
