Head-to-Head
📊 Martin Borysiuk and Koki Matsuda have never previously met.
Martin Borisiouk Player Overview
Over his last ten matches, Martin Borysiuk has gone 7-3, suggesting reasonably consistent form. In qualifying at the current tournament he came through two opponents in a row, though before that he lost in the opening qualifying round in Astana. Among his strengths are a high percentage of games won (59%) and sets won (74%), and he has not suffered a bagel defeat in this stretch. However, his serve-games-won percentage stands at just 28%, which could be a vulnerability against a solid returner. His second serve is less reliable, and on average he hits more double faults than his opponent today. Overall, Borysiuk has been producing solid results without a clear edge over most opponents.

Koki Matsuda Player Overview
Koki Matsuda has also won 7 of his last 10 matches, putting him on comparable form to Borysiuk. He has won his last three matches in a row, and at his previous tournament he reached the second round of the main draw after coming through qualifying. His most notable strength is a high hold percentage of 79%, which stands out against his opponent and allows him to regularly hold serve even against higher-ranked players. He hits significantly more aces (8.4 per match) and commits very few double faults (2% of all points played), which adds to his consistency on serve. Matsuda's average games per match is higher than Borysiuk's, pointing to longer matches when he is involved and an ability to compete for every set.
