Timofey Skatov has been going through a poor run - just three wins from his last ten matches, with seven defeats, six of them without taking a set.

Match Results: Timofey Skatov
Key factors
- Timofey Skatov has won fewer than 12.5 games in eight consecutive matches.
- Timofey Skatov has been bagelled in 6 of his last 10 matches.
- Timofey Skatov has won 49% of games over his last 10 matches.
- In their head-to-head meeting, Stefanos Sakellaridis lost, but an Under on Skatov's individual total games would also have won.
Expected scenario
The most likely outcome is a straight-sets win for Stefanos Sakellaridis. Given that balance of power, Timofey Skatov going over 12.5 games won looks unlikely: his opponent's poor form and the low probability of a third set both limit how many games Skatov can accumulate.
Match Result Prediction
Timofey Skatov has lost 6 of his last 7 matches. His run of defeats points to a lack of consistency and reduces his chances against a more focused opponent. The pick is Sakellaridis to win the match.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Timofey Skatov's poor form is reflected in a run of six straight-sets defeats and consistently falling short on games won, even against more modest opponents. A two-set outcome looks the most likely scenario - his Greek opponent holds the edge across the key metrics, and Skatov has gone under his individual games line in eight matches in a row. That combination of factors makes it unlikely the line will be broken here. The pick is Timofey Skatov - Player Total Games Under 12.5.
