Head-to-head statistics Poullain - Binda
Lucas Poullain Player Overview
Poulin arrives at this stage in poor form - just 3 wins from his last 10 matches. His most recent loss came against Isaac Beckroft, and before that he dropped a match to Dan Added, having beaten him only once in three meetings. His serve is a real problem: he wins just 34% of his service games, which means he's getting broken regularly. Six of his last ten matches ended in a bagel, and he's averaging just 19.1 games per match - well below the norm at this level. Set win rate of 33%, games won at 46%. The numbers all point the same way: Poulin is inconsistent and struggling.
Match Results: Lucas Poullain
Alexandr Binda Player Overview
Binda has been the more consistent of the two lately - 5 wins from his last ten matches, including a run through qualifying and the first round in Istanbul. His first serve is landing at 66%, he's averaging close to three aces per match, and he's winning 52% of games and 58% of sets. Takes the first set six times out of ten. Just one bagel set conceded in that stretch, and he's been picking up enough games even against higher-ranked opponents.
Match Results: Alexandr Binda
Key factors
- In 10 of Poulen's last 11 matches, the total games stayed under 21.5.
- Poulen has lost 7 of his last 10 matches, often in straight sets.
- He's been bageled frequently - 6 of those 10 losses ended 0-2.
- His matches average 19.1 games, well below the line.
- His set and game win rates trail his opponent's by a significant margin.
Expected scenario
The match should play out as a two-set affair with Александр Бинда well in control. A third set looks unlikely - Люк Пулен's numbers don't support a long fight, and he loses in straight sets often enough to make that a real factor here. That's exactly what the under bet is built on.
Prediction on total
This trend reflects Luke Poulen's tendency toward short matches - he often loses quickly, without games piling up. Given that dynamic, the under on total games makes sense for this matchup.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Alexander Binda's edge in form and stats is clear: he wins more sets consistently, rarely gets bageled, and holds serve better than his opponent. Poulen's matches tend to wrap up quickly - he often loses without pushing for a third set or any extended run of play, and the average total rarely gets past 21-22 games. The bet: total games under 21.5.
