Head-to-head statistics Brancaccio - Moeller
Raul Brancaccio Player Overview
Brancaccio's last result was a win over Zdenek Kolar, but before that he lost to Federico Agustin Gomez and Harold Mayot. Four wins from his last ten, six defeats - and four of those losses came in straight sets. On serve, he holds around 76% of the time, which is decent at his level, but his set win rate is just 36%. Games won: 45%. He averages 4.1 aces per match, and double faults come in at around 5% - not alarming, but enough to hand opponents extra looks at break points. The pattern is familiar: a decent run, then a losing streak.
Match Results: Raul Brancaccio
Elmer Moeller Player Overview
Elmer Møller has been the more consistent of the two lately - two wins from his last three, including a recent win over Jamie Murray here in Hagen. Over his last ten matches, he's gone 5-2 in terms of sets lost, never getting bagelled more than twice, which shows he can compete even when things aren't going his way. On serve, he wins around 60% of games - mid-range for this part of the rankings, but his overall game win rate of 53% puts him ahead of his opponent. Break-point conversion is notably higher at 48%. He also takes the first set in 56% of matches, with an overall set win rate of 60%. Against a less consistent Italian, that profile makes him the favourite.
Match Results: Elmer Moeller
Key factors
- Elmar Meller has won 5 of his last 10 matches; Raul Brancaccio has managed just 4.
- Meller's set win rate is 60% - well above Brancaccio's 36%.
- Meller wins 53% of games, Brancaccio 45%.
- Meller is ranked higher: 184 vs. 237.
- Brancaccio has lost 4 of his last 10 matches in straight sets.
Expected scenario
Moller should have the edge here - more consistent across the season, better at converting chances on both serve and return. A third set is possible; this won't be completely one-sided. Brancaccio can take games and sets when his serve is working and he gets looks at break points. But Moller should control the tempo overall, which lines up with a prediction on the Dane.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Elmer Møller's form looks stronger - five wins from ten matches against his opponent's four, backed by better numbers in sets and games. The Danish player loses fewer sets to love and sits higher in the ATP rankings. Expect the favourite to win, but not to run away with it. The pick: Elmer Møller to win the match.
