As we analyse the upcoming match, Castagnola’s superiority in winning second serve points and converting breakpoints paints a picture of efficiency under pressure.

Despite Bennani showcasing a higher win rate from the past year and stronger first serve return stats, the weaker breakpoint conversion could be pivotal.

Both have similar past competitors in terms of ranking, suggesting a well-matched contest. However, Castagnola appears to have a slight overall edge based on consistency in recent performances.

Considering these factors, Castagnola seems the most likely to secure victory in their impending face-off against Bennani.
