Vilius Gaubas vs Damir Dzumhur Prediction

Vilius Gaubas, currently ranked 154, has a form index of 50.24 and an Elo rating of 318.94, indicating he has been performing at a moderate level. His cumulative fatigue of 170 minutes reflects a considerable time spent on court during this tournament. His surface strength index of 3.03 suggests he is still developing his clay-court game. In contrast, Damir Dzumhur, ranked 69, possesses a higher form index of 48.12 and a significantly better Elo rating of 838.44, showcasing his overall experience and capability. Dzumhur's fatigue is notably zero, giving him a fresh advantage heading into this match. His surface strength index is also stronger at 7.51. The difference in their mean serve indexes is marginal at 1.59, but Gaubas has a slight edge in mean return index (91.46) compared to Dzumhur (89.91). In their recent performances, Gaubas has won his last two matches without dropping a set, demonstrating potential momentum. His victories against Hugo Dellien and Eliot Spizzirri on clay highlight his improving form. However, Dzumhur has a mixed record, having lost his last match to Matteo Arnaldi while securing a win against Sebastian Baez and Mattia Bellucci in previous rounds, both on clay. This inconsistency may hinder his performance.
