Head-to-head statistics Onclin - Skatov
Gauthier Onclin Player Overview
Gauthier Onclin came into this match with six wins in his last ten matches. In qualifying for the current tournament, he comfortably won two matches in a row. In his most recent match he lost to Andres Andrade, but before that he had won two matches in a row, which confirms his working form. On serve, the Belgian wins around 73% of service games - a solid figure for the current level of competition.
However, his first-serve percentage sits at just 58%, which can create difficulties against more consistent opponents. On average, his matches go without extended sets - the average total is 26 games per match, but this figure is largely tied to a number of three-set matches earlier in the season.

Timofey Skatov Player Overview
Timofey Skatov has been showing slightly less consistent results: five wins and five losses over his last ten matches. In his recent outings he beat Otto Virtanen, but then lost to Juan Pablo Varillas and Alex Barrena. The Kazakhstani holds his serve in approximately 69% of cases - a lower level than Onclin's, though his first-serve percentage is higher at 66%.
At the same time, his recent run of matches shows a steady trend toward short two-set affairs: the average total games is just 21.9 per match. This is supported by the fact that four times out of ten Skatov lost without taking a set, and three times he won without dropping one either.

Total Prediction
Skatov's recent matches have been quick and rarely go beyond two full sets or long games, so the trend toward a low total looks natural for this matchup.
⭐ Editor's prediction
Both players frequently finish matches without a third set and tend not to push games to the maximum number of sets even against opponents of comparable ranking. The average total games for both is low, and recent statistics support the likelihood of a two-set match without extended sets. The editor's main pick is total games under 23.5.
