Gonzalo Villanueva vs Guido Ivan Justo Head-to-Head Stats, Results & Performance Comparison

Once upon a tennis court, Villanueva and Justo were about to duke it out in a match that promised not just volleys and serves, but a statistical jest of sorts. Let's take a glance at their recent shenanigans. Over the last six moons, Villanueva has waved their second serve wand with a success rate of 44.62%, which beats Justo's not-so-magical 43.02%. When it comes to bossing the opponent's seconds, Villanueva wins a cheeky 47.38% of their duels, compared to Justo's 44.42%. It's like a badminton game with tennis rackets at times, I tell you.

Villanueva's first serve returns dance gracefully at 31.59%, barely outshined by Justo's 32.2% endeavor of fetching the serve. Speaking of footloose moments, when breakpoints come a-knocking, Villanueva saves the day 52.7% of the time, overshadowing Justo's 50.97%. Now, on clay, both players prance like bees around a pot of honey, but Justo can't seem to win a match on I.hard surfaces—a grand 0% in their favor!

Now, who plays more and who wins more, you ask? Over the past year, Villanueva has triumphed in 54.55% of their matches, dancing past opponents at Challenger and ITF events like a fiery salsa dancer (W/L 36/30). Justo, on the other hand, preferred smaller stages at Futures events but claimed a victory rate of 71.74% (W/L 33/13). And here’s a nail-biter for you—when these two players meet, Villanueva has the upper hand with 3 wins out of 5 battles, although Justo sealed the last showdown with a 6-4, 6-4 victory at the never-forgotten Rosario Challenger.

What about extreme pressure, you say? Villanueva and Justo have tangoed in tiebreaks just once, with Villanueva clenching that set like a champion. Plus, in their career, Villanueva is the king of deciding sets, winning a whopping 75% over the last year. But, let’s not forget, Justo prances close behind, with a respectable 70%. Villanueva also twirls past higher-ranked foes, whereas Justo cozies up with lower-ranked competitors—an average rank of 330.33 against Justo’s 377.02. As the numbers do the tango, Villanueva’s knack for converting break points (39.04%) lightly trails Justo’s somewhat better ratio of 40.59%.

So, if you were betting your brand-new tennis racket on a winner, based on these humorous statistics, you'd lean toward Villanueva having the last chuckle. But take it with a clay-court grain of salt—because, as we know, tennis predictions can be as unpredictable as a cat with a tennis ball.
