Mili Poljicak Player Overview
Mili Poljicak arrives at this match with five wins from his last ten, though the underlying numbers are unimpressive.

Poljicak holds serve in 64% of service games - reasonable at his level - but wins only 49% of total points. On average across matches he wins just under half of all games, and his set-winning rate is only 45%. The statistics point to difficulties holding on to leads and frequent defeats without taking a set.

His set-winning rate is particularly notable - he takes 65% of sets and frequently closes out matches in straight sets.
