Thiago Cigarran Player Overview
Thiago Cigarran have also claimed victory in six of their last ten matches and currently ride a three-match winning streak in this tournament. In his most recent outing, he overcame Juan Estevez, building on confident opening wins over Wilson Leite in qualifying and Santiago Giamichelle in the main draw. One of his key strengths is a notably high average of aces-two per match-but his serve lacks consistency: he holds just 57% of his service games and commits double faults at a relatively high rate (5%). Nevertheless, Thiago consistently racks up a significant number of games even against higher-ranked opponents, and his set-winning percentage stands at 54%, which is comparable to his upcoming rival.
