Yunchaokete Bu vs Luciano Darderi Prediction

Yunchaokete Bu, currently ranked 73, has a form index of 31.87 and an Elo rating of approximately 764. His surface strength index on clay is relatively low at 5.85, which could be a factor against a more accomplished opponent. In contrast, Luciano Darderi, ranked 46, boasts a stronger form index of 48.46 and a significantly higher Elo rating of about 1169. Darderi's surface strength index is notably better at 10.75. The mean serve index difference is minimal, with Bu at 97.73 and Darderi at 95.91, but the mean return index shows a slight edge for Darderi (86.94) over Bu (86.11), suggesting better returning capabilities. Analyzing their recent performances, Bu has struggled, losing his last two matches against Jacob Fearnley and Lorenzo Musetti, with only one victory against Albert Ramos-Vinolas in his last three outings. Darderi, meanwhile, has had a mixed bag, losing to Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton, but achieving a solid win against Quentin Halys. This recent form indicates that Darderi may be slightly more resilient under pressure, particularly after winning a match in the same tournament.
