Federico Cina sits at 178 in the rankings, but his form is patchy - just 5 wins in his last 10 matches, with results alternating between decent and poor. He holds serve well enough, winning 77% of games on serve, and takes 54% of sets. His last match ended in a win over Elias Ymer, but the overall numbers don't make him a clear favourite right now.
