Match Results: Stefanos Sakellaridis
Andrej Nedic Player Overview
Nedic arrives at this match on the back of two consecutive qualifying wins at the Como Challenger, though his overall record across his last ten matches stands at just four wins and six losses. In his most recent competitive outing before the qualifying run, he lost to Juan Esteves in the opening round of the previous tournament, having beaten two lower-ranked opponents in qualifying beforehand. Nedic holds serve in around 71% of his service games - noticeably below his opponent's level, which could prove a significant disadvantage against the favourite. Despite some bright patches, his form has been inconsistent, and a set-winning rate of 48% makes it difficult to expect a confident performance against a player of Sakkellaridis's calibre.
Match Results: Andrej Nedic
Key factors
- Stefanos Sakellaridis has won 6 of his last 7 matches.
- Sakellaridis has gone 7-3 in his last 10 matches, reflecting solid recent form.

- Over his last 10 matches, Sakellaridis has won 56% of sets and held serve in 81% of his service games.

Expected scenario
Stefanos Sakkellaridis looks the stronger player across most key metrics - better current form, a higher ranking, and a solid hold rate on serve - and should set the tone for this match. A third set is possible but not the most likely outcome; the favourite holds a clear edge in most areas.
Match Prediction
Sakkellaridis's consistent results make him the clear favourite here: his current winning streak is backed by solid serving and a high set-winning percentage, which strengthens the case for backing him to take the match.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Recent weeks have favoured the Greek: he has been beating opponents of a similar or higher level, consistently holding serve, and winning more than half of the sets available to him. Given the gap in form and key performance indicators, the bet lands on the favourite to take this match. Our pick is Stefanos Sakellaridis to Win.
