In assessing their recent performances, Stefano has shown greater resilience in high-pressure situations, particularly evident in his higher breakpoint conversion rate and superior breakpoint save percentage. This suggests he can maintain composure at crucial junctures in matches.

While Ribera boasts a slightly superior return game and second serve performance, Stefano's overall match win rate and deciding set success emphasize his capability to prevail in competitive matches.
