Guido Ivan Justo Player Overview
Guido Ivan Justo sits well down the rankings at No. 233. The Argentine is in similar form, also winning 5 of his last 10 matches, though without any notable run - his results have alternated between wins and losses throughout. Two of his last three outings ended in defeat, with losses to Diego Dedura-Palomero and Juan Bautista Torres interrupting brief spells of success. His serve statistics show a slightly higher service games won percentage at 73%, though the overall quality of opposition has been lower than Gaston's faced, and his break-point conversion remains modest at 44%. He has won matches in straight sets on several occasions, but has also been bagelled four times in ten matches.
