In examining the recent performance metrics and historical data of Nicolas Mejia and Franco Roncadelli, we observe very close second serve percentages with Roncadelli having a minor edge.

Roncadelli also shows stronger return stats, both on first and second serves, suggesting he might have an advantage in return games.

However, Mejia outperforms on breakpoints saved, and he has faced higher-ranked opponents, indicating his competitive experience may be more robust.

Both players perform well on clay; however, Mejia's vulnerability on grass will not be a factor here.
