Ethan Quinn Player Overview
Ethan Quinn has managed just four wins in his last ten matches. His recent form has been inconsistent: while he did notch a victory over Karen Khachanov in Halle, that was preceded by a four-match losing streak, including defeats to Francisco Comesana and Tommy Paul. Although Quinn wins 88% of his service games, his break point conversion rate is lower at 26%, and heβs claimed only 41% of sets played. This inconsistency makes him a less threatening opponent for the favorite given the current level of competition.
