Pucinelli De Almeida vs Hara Friend Prediction 2 September 2026

Matheus Puccinelli De Almeida has been in decent form recently, winning 6 of his last 10 matches, including both qualifying rounds at the current tournament. In his last three matches he has won two, his only defeat coming against Oliver Tarvet last week. On serve, he has been fairly consistent: a 65% first-serve percentage and holding 73% of his service games, which is above average at this level. His sets won (60%) and games won (54%) figures also reflect an ability to compete in longer matches. He has committed relatively few double faults compared to his opponent, which limits unnecessary point losses on serve.

Jay Dylan Hara Friend shows a similar record over his last ten matches - seven wins and three losses, though the results alternate without any clear pattern. In his previous three matches, the Japanese player lost to Spencer Johnson and Iñaki Montes de la Torre, but beat Michael Geerts in the first round at Roehampton. In terms of serve, Yai Dylan Hara Friend holds a slightly higher proportion of his service games (80%), though his first-serve percentage is lower (61%). His break-point conversion stands at just 30%, and his average number of double faults is higher - which could be a problem against a more consistent opponent. His set-winning rate sits at 61%, though a high proportion of first sets lost points to a possible vulnerability at the start of matches.
