Facundo Mena Player Overview
Facundo Mena has been inconsistent over his last ten matches, winning five and losing five. He holds serve at a solid 85%, but his break-point conversion rate is notably low at 28%, and he wins only around half his sets. He did come through in the quarter-final, though his overall record suggests he struggles against stronger opponents, particularly at the later stages of tournaments. His average match length is well above 23 games, largely because he tends to lose extended matches or get drawn into difficult second sets after dropping the first.
