Hayato Matsuoka Player Overview
Hayato Matsuoka sits higher in the rankings and has a recent win over Weber to his name. In his last ten matches, though, he has won six and lost four, and a run of three consecutive defeats in September points to some inconsistency. That said, a high hold percentage of 79% and an average of 4.9 aces per match make him a dangerous opponent on hard courts. His overall games-won percentage is lower, at just 53%, which leaves room for opponents to hold serve and stay competitive deep into each set.
