Pujolras’s superior performance is evident in the numbers, with a 64% win rate in the previous year, compared to Catini’s 51.67%. Pujolras’s break-point conversion (47.2% vs. 36.86%) and break-point saving (60% vs. 52.21%) outshine Catini’s, showcasing their ability to perform under pressure. Pujolras’s lifetime victory record of 62% on clay, their strongest surface, far surpasses Catini’s 53% win rate on hard courts.
Return and Serve Statistics
Pujolras’s strength lies in return games, winning 57.37% of second-serve return points and 37.5% of first-serve return points, which is slightly higher than Catini. Catini, on the other hand, has a slight edge in second-serve performance (49.92% vs. 46.63%). However, Pujolras’s ability to serve under pressure is a significant advantage.
Head-to-Head & Decision Set
Pujolras’s victory in their sole previous match on clay in three sets is a testament to their strength in handling tight encounters. Pujolras’s greater victory percentage in decisive sets (60% over the previous 12 months) compared to Catini’s (47%) further solidifies their position.
Prediction
Pujolras are favoured for their edge on clay courts and better pressure statistics. Expect a competitive match to last over 19.5 games, making this a good bet.
