Head-to-head statistics Kouame - Bax
Moise Kouame Player Overview
Moïse Kouame arrives at the quarter-final on the back of two consecutive wins in this tournament, though his recent results have been inconsistent: just 4 wins from his last 10 matches. In his most recent match he beat Filip Peliwo, and before that he came through comfortably against Ryuki Matsuda. Over those 10 matches, Kouame has struggled to win games, taking just 51% of games and 43% of sets.
On serve he wins three quarters of his service games, which offers some degree of reliability, though his break-point conversion rate is below average at 41%. A high double-fault rate - 6% of all serves - could also cause problems in extended sets against an opponent capable of holding serve consistently.
Match Results: Moise Kouame
Florent Bax Player Overview
Florent Bax is in better form, with 6 wins from his last 10 matches, a sets-won rate of 68% and a games-won rate of 54%. In his last three matches he has won twice and has not suffered a bagel set in any of them. His matches average around 21 games, which suggests he can maintain a positive games handicap even when losing sets.
On serve, Bax wins half his service games - an average figure at Challenger level - but offsets any weakness there with a break-point conversion rate of 44%. His consistency is reflected in the absence of heavy defeats and in regularly passing the 10-game mark in nearly all his recent matches.
Match Results: Florent Bax
Key factors
- Florent Bax has won more than 9.5 games in 6 of his last 7 matches.
- Over his last 10 matches, Florent Bax has won 68% of sets and 54% of games.
- Florent Bax has not lost a single match without winning a set in his last 10 matches.
- The average number of games in matches involving Florent Bax is 21.3.
Expected scenario
The match should be reasonably competitive: Moïse Kouamé has the ranking advantage and a relatively reliable serve, but it is Florent Bax's consistency that makes a solid game count likely from him. The absence of bagel sets in Bax's record suggests that even in difficult matches he is capable of accumulating enough games through closely contested sets.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Florent Bax's current form stands out for its productivity, both in terms of wins and points won within each match. He consistently reaches at least ten games, with no bagel defeats and an ability to compete even against favourites. The average length of his matches also supports a high total. The pick is Total Games - Over 19.5.
