Francesco Passaro has been less consistent: six wins and four losses in his last ten matches, with a two-match losing streak recently ended by a winning start in Palermo. His sets-won percentage (60%) and games-won percentage (52%) are both lower than Caniato's, and his hold percentage is slightly down at 73%.
