Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

Roman Safiullin, a 27-year-old player from Russia, will be facing off against Adrian Mannarino from France in their upcoming match. Mannarino currently leads the head-to-head record between the two, with a 2-0 advantage. Their previous encounters took place in Moscow and Stockholm, with Mannarino emerging victorious in both matches.

Safiullin, currently ranked 58th in the world, achieved his career-high ranking of 36th in January 2024. His journey to the top 100 began in August 2022, and he experienced a breakthrough year in 2023, recording a personal-best of 20 wins. Among his notable accomplishments was reaching his first ATP Tour final in Chengdu and defeating the second-ranked player, Carlos Alcaraz, at the ATP Masters 1000 Paris to advance to the third round as a qualifier.

In his Wimbledon debut as the 92nd-ranked player in the world, Safiullin surprised many by becoming the lowest-ranked quarter-finalist since Nick Kyrgios in 2014. He also made it to his first ATP Tour semi-final at the 2022 Marseille, where he defeated the two-time champion and fourth-ranked player, Stefanos Tsitsipas. Additionally, Safiullin reached his second semi-final on indoor hard courts in 2022 Tel Aviv.

Before turning pro, Safiullin had a successful junior career, achieving a remarkable win-loss record of 105-21 with 11 titles on the ITF Junior Circuit. His victories include wins over future top players such as Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, and Karen Khachanov. Safiullin’s junior career culminated in winning the 2015 Australian Open championship.

Although Safiullin has struggled against higher-ranked opponents on hard courts this season, with a record of 3-10, he managed to secure wins against players like Alexander Bublik (ranked 27th) and Frances Tiafoe (ranked 17th) en route to the ATP Masters 1000 Shanghai fourth round last week. He now aims to secure his 50th career tour-level win, currently holding a record of 49-54.

On the other hand, Adrian Mannarino, aged 36 and ranked 56th in the world, enjoyed a consistent presence in the top 75 of the PIF ATP Rankings from 2013 to 2023. He achieved his career-high ranking of 17th in January 2024, entering the top 20 at the age of 35. Mannarino has demonstrated his talent by winning two ATP Tour titles, the first at the 2019 ‘s-Hertogenbosch and the second at the 2022 Winston-Salem, both after reaching the final in his seventh and eleventh attempts, respectively.

In 2023, Mannarino had a breakthrough season, amassing a personal-best of 43 wins and securing ATP Tour titles in Newport, Astana, and Sofia. He has also claimed notable victories over top players, such as a win against Marin Cilic (ranked 5th) to reach the biggest final of his career at the 2017 Tokyo event, as well as a victory over Daniil Medvedev (ranked 3rd) at the 2023 ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

While Mannarino has had success reaching the fourth round of the Australian Open in 2022 and 2024, as well as the fourth round of Wimbledon in 2013, 2017, and 2018, it is worth noting that he owns a winless record of 0-22 against top-10 players at Grand Slam tournaments.

In terms of the current tournament, Mannarino holds the record for the most wins at 10, and he is the sole previous champion in the field, having defeated Sebastian Korda in the final of last year’s Astana event. Notably, Mannarino has earned 11 out of his 12 victories this year on hard courts.

As Safiullin and Mannarino face each other in their upcoming match, their previous encounters, career highlights, and current form showcase their respective strengths and accomplishments on the tennis court.
