His surface strength index stands at 4.65, while his mean serve index is 97.36, indicating a solid serving ability. However, his mean return index of 87.01 suggests that he may struggle to capitalize on his opponents' serves. In contrast, Adam Walton ranks higher at 77, with a lower form index of 21.92 and a significantly better Elo rating of 771.30. Walton possesses a surface strength index of 7.28, indicating greater proficiency on hard courts, which could play a critical role in this matchup. Walton's mean serve index of 95.65 is slightly lower than Schoolkate's, but both players' serve indices are closely matched, with less than a 5-point difference. In terms of recent performances, both players have faced challenges in their last three matches. Schoolkate managed to secure one victory against Beibit Zhukayev but lost his latest match against Daniel Altmaier without winning a set. Walton, on the other hand, has faced a string of defeats, losing all his last three matches, including a recent loss to Mattia Bellucci. This trend may impact Walton's confidence, but his higher overall ranking and better Elo rating suggest he retains an edge in skill level.
