Genaro Alberto Olivieri Player Overview
Gennaro Alberto Olivieri arrives at this match having won four of his last ten, a run that reflects inconsistent form. His most recent win came in the opening round of this qualifying event, where he beat Guy Den Auden. Before that, his results have alternated between wins and losses without any clear run in either direction. His serve has been a weakness - he has held just 64% of his service games and won 58% of service points.
