Match Analysis

Yunchaokete Bu, currently ranked 89, holds a form index of 19.68 and an Elo rating of 693.45. His surface strength index is notably higher at 7.71 compared to Cerundolo's 2.52, indicating greater proficiency on hard courts. Furthermore, Bu boasts a mean serve index of 97.35, which is higher than Cerundolo's 94.74, reflecting a significant advantage in serving capabilities. In terms of returning, Bu's mean return index of 86.06 is slightly lower than Cerundolo's 90.00, but the overall metrics suggest that Bu has a more robust game on this surface. In their recent performances, both players have faced challenges. Bu's last three matches include losses against Alex de Minaur and Zhizhen Zhang, with only one set won in the last two matches. Cerundolo's recent form is slightly better, having secured a win against Rio Noguchi, but he also suffered defeats in his other matches. His recent loss to Sho Shimabukuro further highlights his inconsistency, as he failed to win a set in that match.

Final Prediction

Yunchaokete Bu's edge in serving and surface strength, combined with a favorable ranking, positions him as the likely victor in this matchup. A key factor to watch will be the effectiveness of Bu's serve against Cerundolo's return, as this could significantly influence the outcome of the match.
