Head-to-head statistics Faria - O'Connell
Jaime Faria Player Overview
Faria has won 7 of his last 10 matches - solid, consistent form. In his most recent run he beat Botic Van de Zandschulp and Gonzalo Bueno, losing only to Luciano Darderi in the Estoril quarter-finals. He holds serve in around 80% of his service games - a decent rate at this level. Overall point win rate sits just above 50%, with a 66% set win percentage. One concern: double faults at around 7% of total serves, slightly above average. Against a steady opponent, that could be a problem.
