Pedro Martinez (No. 39) and the higher-ranked Jordan Thompson (No. 29) are gearing up for a showdown in the Rolex Paris Masters Round of 64 on Monday. Thompson’s performance has been a bit up and down, with a recent loss in the Japan Open. In contrast, Martinez was defeated by Jiri Lehecka in the China Open.
Player Data
This year, Thompson had a 23–13 record and won a hard court championship. He converts 25.2% of return games and has an 81.4% service success rate. Notably, his 38.3% breakpoint winning rate on hard courts places him in 10th place.
However, Martinez’s record this season on hard courts is 4-8. He has a 66.7% service success rate, converts 23.6% of return games, and ranks 100th regarding break points earned (37.8%).
Forecast
Thompson is the favorite to win this match because of his better form, rating, and success on the hard court. Thompson has the advantage because of his consistency and superior break-point conversion percentage, even if Martinez just lost.
