His games-won rate stands at 44%, and his hold percentage is above average at around 73%. His break-point conversion rate, however, is low at just 31%, which has weighed on his results.

Max Schoenhaus Player Overview
Schoenhaus has been in inconsistent form, winning just 3 of his last 10 matches and alternating between wins and losses with little pattern. The German rarely produces lopsided results: he wins around 47% of games played and holds serve at roughly 77%. That said, he has suffered four bagel sets in his last ten matches, and his break-point conversion rate is almost identical to his opponents' at 30%. His form is well short of his best, which makes a commanding win unlikely even against lower-ranked opposition.
