Match Results: Petr Bar Biryukov
Jie Cui Player Overview
Jie Cui holds a lower ranking and is going through an inconsistent stretch - only 4 wins against 6 losses in his last ten matches. In the first round of this tournament he beat Aziz Ouakaa, but before that he was alternating wins with losses, and a run of several consecutive defeats points to problems with maintaining his level of play.
His set-winning percentage stands at just 50%, and his service games won rate is also low - only around a quarter of his own service games ended in his favor. His first serve goes in more often than his opponent's (61%), but he does not always manage to convert that advantage: his double fault count is modest, but his overall point-winning efficiency in rallies is below average for this level of competition.
