Daniel Altmaier has struggled to find his footing lately, unable to secure a win in his last five matches, including a recent defeat to Hugo Gaston at ATP Bastad. His career baseline win percentage sits around 56% on hard courts, but that figure doesn't reflect his current trajectory, which is declining as he grapples with consistency. With a serve that historically performs well under pressure, Altmaier will need to rediscover that form quickly.
In his last outing, Altmaier lost to Gaston in straight sets, adding to a series of disappointing results that include losses at Wimbledon and Eastbourne. He has yet to win a set in these five matches, indicating a significant need for improvement. Facing Luca Darderi, who is also struggling, could provide an opportunity for Altmaier to turn things around, but he must elevate his game to avoid another early exit.
