Poljicak vs Sakellaridis Prediction 7 September 2026
🔊 In the first round of the Genoa Challenger on clay, Mili Polićak faces Stefanos Sakellaridis. The two players arrive with different levels of confidence, and the recent statistics favour one of them. Much may depend on whether Polićak can make it competitive against the favourite.
Head-to-Head
📊 Mili Polićak and Stefanos Sakellaridis have not previously met.
Mili Poljicak Player Overview
Mili Poličak is going through an inconsistent spell - six wins and four defeats in his last ten matches, with three consecutive losses to Sebastian Dominko, Max Schönhaus and Matej Dodig. His games-won percentage (50%) and sets-won percentage (55%) offer no grounds for talking about dominance over that stretch. He wins 67% of his service games, but has frequently struggled against higher-ranked opponents, as that four-match losing streak reflects. In addition, he has not managed to win more than 12.5 games in any of his last five matches.
Match Results: Mili Poljicak
Stefanos Sakellaridis Player Overview
Stefanos Sakellaridis arrives at this tournament with an even win-loss record over his last ten matches, though his serving numbers are notably stronger: he holds 79% of his service games, well ahead of his opponent. Despite three consecutive losses - to Lyuke Van Ash, Christopher O'Connell and Andrija Nedić - he has been more consistent across the season, backed by a higher ranking and a better hold percentage. Over this stretch he has also won the opening set in six of his last seven matches.

Key factors
- Mili Polićak has won fewer than 12.5 games in each of his last 5 matches.
- Over his last 10 matches, Mili Polićak has won 50% of games and 55% of sets.
- Stefanos Sakellaridis has a higher ranking and a better service games won percentage.
- In recent matches, Mili Polićak has frequently lost in straight sets.
Expected scenario
Stefanos Sakellaridis should have the better of this match: his consistency on serve and overall level may limit the games Mili Poličak can win. A third set looks unlikely - both players regularly finish their matches in two - which fits a bet on Mili Poličak's individual total games going under the stated line.
Outcome Prediction
Stefanos Sakellaridis regularly wins the opening set, which supports a scenario where the favourite takes early control and further reduces the opponent's chances of exceeding their individual games total.
Total Games Prediction
In five consecutive matches, Mili Polićak has failed to reach the specified games total regardless of how those matches have played out - a consistent trend against stronger opponents.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Mili Polićak's form raises questions - three consecutive defeats, a low games-won percentage, and a tendency to drop sets quickly. Stefanos Sakellaridis has a stronger serve and experience against higher-level opponents that helps him control matches from the opening rallies. In this context, a straight-sets outcome looks most likely, and Polićak's individual games total rarely exceeds the offered line even when parts of a match are competitive. The pick is Mili Polićak - Player Total Games Under 12.5.
