Valerio Aboian Player Overview
Valerio Aboian is also in good form - he has won seven of his last ten matches, and his run in the current tournament includes three comfortable wins over Marco Topo, Sebastian Sorger and Federico Iannaccone. His games-won percentage is marginally higher at 55%, and he has won 63% of his sets. However, he is holding only 25% of his service games, which could be a risk factor against an opponent with consistent results against the spread. Despite his higher overall efficiency in sets and games, that weakness on serve leaves room for Yanaki Milev to stay competitive.
