Alexander Shevchenko has had a mixed run of form recently. In his last five matches, he has won two and lost three. His best performance came in a straight-sets victory over Sachko V., where he dominated with 5 aces and won 67% of points. However, he struggled against Auger-Aliassime F., losing in straight sets with only 2 aces and a low 59% first serve points won. Shevchenko's serve has been inconsistent, but he shows resilience in close matches, as seen in his three-set win over Muller A. where he hit 12 aces.

Dominic Stricker has been in solid form, winning three of his last four completed matches. He secured convincing straight-sets wins over Munar J. and Henning P., showcasing strong serving with 7 and 5 aces respectively. His only loss came against Wehnelt K., where he struggled with double faults and was out-aced 3-12. Stricker's recent performances highlight his ability to win key points, converting 5 break points against Munar and saving all 9 break points against Henning.
