📊 In their only head-to-head meeting, Zdenek Kolar won 2-0.
Hynek Barton Player Overview
Hynek Barton has won 5 of his last 10 matches, with 5 defeats in the same period - a mixed run of results. In his most recent match he beat Raul Brancaccio, having previously lost to Nico Hipfl and Benito Sanchez Martaynz. He averages close to 23 games per match, and his overall games-won percentage is exactly 50%. On serve he holds around 78% of his service games, which is one of the stronger aspects of his game. Consistency has been an issue, though: a run of four straight-sets defeats points to dips in form. His averages for sets and games also suggest that matches involving Barton rarely finish quickly.
