Colton Smith Player Overview
Colton Smith has won just four of his last ten matches, a run that puts him below Kym in terms of consistency. He came through against Andrea Pellegrino in the previous round, but has frequently lost early in tournaments before that. His service games won rate of 77% is marginally lower than his opponent's, and he also trails the Swiss player in sets won (44%) and overall match record. Two bagel sets in ten matches further highlight his vulnerability in extended encounters.
