Both Wu and Draxl demonstrate closely matched skills in various aspects of their game. When comparing second serve performance, Wu slightly edges out Draxl, suggesting a small advantage.

Draxl's superior return game, especially on second serves, hints at his ability to put Wu under pressure. However, Wu's remarkable ability to save breakpoints may offset this strength.

Wu has exhibited slightly more consistent success over the past year across numerous matchups, and while both players prefer indoor hard courts, Wu's exceptional win rate on this surface provides him a formidable edge.

Considering Wu's higher win percentage in Challengers/ITF tournaments and his encounters with more highly ranked opponents, he seems more battle-hardened.

While Draxl performs slightly better in deciding sets, Wu's superior breakpoint conversion rate and overall match-winning consistency suggest he has a slight edge in this upcoming match.

Given these factors, Wu appears more likely to prevail in their next encounter.
