    Vadym Ursu Player Overview

    Vadim Ursu is ranked 407th and has won just two of his last ten matches, with his most recent three all ending in defeat. He holds serve in only 62% of service games, and his set-winning percentage stands at just 26%. That said, he rarely loses without contributing: even in defeats he tends to win at least nine games, as his individual totals and sets-won statistics show. This makes it reasonable to expect his contribution to push the total over the selected line.

    • Total Games - Over 20.5 has landed in 8 of the last 9 matches involving August Holmgren.
    • The average number of games in August Holmgren's matches is 28, well above the selected line.

    Expected scenario
