Head-to-head statistics Zeballos - Kirkin
Federico Zeballos Player Overview
Federico Ceballos comes into this match on a run of seven losses in his last ten meetings, with most of them ending without a set won. His only recent win came against Samuel Pieri - a low-level opponent for this stage of the tournament. Overall, Ceballos is winning just 27% of sets and 40% of games over his last ten matches, and he frequently loses heavily even in the early rounds of qualifying. Despite a high percentage of service games won (87%), this does not compensate for his weak numbers against higher-ranked players. The frequent bagel losses confirm his vulnerability when facing a strong opponent.
