Felipe Meligeni Alves Player Overview
Felipe Alves put together a run of seven consecutive wins before losing three in a row.

Despite winning 61% of second-serve points, holding serve has been a problem - he has held just 31% of his service games over ten matches.

- In two previous meetings between these players, Dellien won both times, and both matches finished in straight sets.

Expected scenario
The most likely scenario is Hugo Dellien in control, with a high probability of a straight-sets result. One player's dominance reduces the risk of the total going over the line: even if Felipe Alves offers resistance, the key metrics point towards a compact match without a third set.
Total Games Prediction
Hugo Dellien's extended run of low totals suggests his matches rarely cross the selected line - which fits naturally with the predominantly straight-sets pattern against his current opponent.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Hugo Dellien's current form suggests he can take control of matches quickly - he holds serve consistently and regularly finishes in two sets, even against familiar opponents such as Felipe Alves. The average number of games played is well below the stated line, and the head-to-head record also supports a short match without extra sets or prolonged games. The pick is Total Games - Under 23.5.
