Hernan Casanova has played his last ten matches with four wins and six losses. His last three encounters ended in defeat, including two consecutive losses before reaching the quarterfinal stage.

His average number of games per match is just 16.9, and his percentage of sets won stands at 53%. In terms of double faults, Casanova commits far fewer errors (1%), but his overall set of statistics does not suggest any consistency in his results over the distance.

Expected scenario
The match looks likely to follow a one-sided pattern - Gustavo Heide has the edge in current form and serve efficiency. A third set seems unlikely: both players' records point towards frequent two-set outcomes, particularly in Casanova's matches, which rarely go beyond the minimum number of sets.
Total Games Prediction
Under has regularly landed in matches involving Hernan Casanova: his matches often finish quickly even against comparable opponents, and a low average game count reflects the tendency towards short encounters.
⭐ Editor's Pick
The gap in level between these two players is visible both in their recent results and in the quality of Gustavo Heide's service games. His ability to win the majority of sets creates conditions for a straight-sets outcome without the score becoming drawn out. Casanova's averages also point to a low overall game count per match - a pattern that appears in nearly all of his recent matches regardless of the final result. The pick is Total Games - Under 21.5.
