Wendelken vs Travaglia Prediction 24 August 2026
🔊 Harry Windeklin and Stefano Travaglia meet in the first round of US Open qualifying on hard courts. Both players arrive in uncertain form, and there is no clear favourite heading into the match. The way both men are playing right now, this could be a lengthy one.
Head-to-Head
📊 Harry Windelink and Stefano Travaglia have never previously met.
Harry Wendelken Player Overview
Harry Windeklen has won just three of his last ten matches, reflecting patchy form ahead of the US Open qualifying draw. At his most recent tournament he reached the quarter-finals before losing to Lloyd Harris, though he had beaten Borna Gojo and Stefan Kozlov in the two rounds prior. On serve, Windeklen holds around 73% of his service games - a middling figure at this level - while his first-serve percentage is notably low at 53%, which leaves him vulnerable to breaks. He averages more than 22 games per match, and his set-winning percentage stands at 38%.

Stefano Travaglia Player Overview
Stefano Travaglia is also in poor form, with just 3 wins from his last 10 matches. His last three outings all ended in first-round defeats - to Max-Hans Reberg, Matej Dodig and Nicolas Kicker. Statistically, he holds a slight edge in service games won (76%) and leads on first-serve points won at 58%. That said, his set-winning percentage matches his opponent's at 38%, and his matches average more than 21 games. The inconsistency of his results and his repeated early exits suggest a lack of confidence against players at a similar level.
Match Results: Stefano Travaglia
Key factors
- Total Games - Over 23.5 has landed in 6 of Stefano Travaglia's last 7 matches.
- Both players have low set- and game-winning percentages, pointing to frequent extended matches.
- The average number of games per match for both players exceeds 21, supporting the case for a high total.
- Recent results from both players suggest no clear favourite and a competitive contest.
Expected scenario
Neither player goes into this match as a clear favourite: both tend to be involved in long, unpredictable contests, and a third set is a genuine possibility. Their inconsistency and tendency to drop sets make it reasonably likely that the total number of games will exceed the tour average.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Neither player is in particularly good form: there are no consistent winning runs or clear advantages in the key metrics, and the average number of games played per match hints at a lengthy encounter even at this early stage of US Open qualifying. With no obvious favourite, a competitive match looks the most likely scenario, even accounting for a moderate probability of a third set or at least one tie-break. Our pick is Total Games - Over 21.5.
