Marco Cecchinato has a career baseline win percentage hovering around 56% on hard courts, but he is currently trending downward with a declining form over the last two years. His inability to secure consistent wins raises questions about his competitiveness at this level. The Italian's recent performances have highlighted a struggle, particularly on the return, leaving him vulnerable against stronger opponents.
Cecchinato's recent outings in Milan saw him lose to Franco Diaz Acosta after securing a win against G. Heide and P. Basile. With three losses in his last five matches, he faces a challenging prospect against D. Ajdukovic. If his return game does not improve, he could find himself in a precarious position as the tournament progresses.
