Kovacevic vs Royer — ATP Hangzhou Preview

ATP Hangzhou Hard Court Round of 16

🧠 Form & Context

Aleksandar Kovacevic

• 🔥 Hot summer peak (Los Cabos final; d. Rublev) but cooled off since (losses vs Boyer, Medjedovic, USO 1R vs Wong).
• 🎯 2025 on hard: 13–11; strong indoors (12–3) but this is outdoor hard.
• 🧱 First-strike baseliner; relies on a high first-serve rate to keep points short.

Valentin Royer

• 🚀 Momentum from qualies this week (d. Chen, Spizzirri); USO MD win (d. Yunchaokete), then pushed Shapovalov in 4.
• 📈 2025 on hard: 9–6; season overall 49–22 with steady progress up the ranks.
• 🧲 Rhythm player who thrives in longer exchanges and return games.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Kovacevic will try to shorten points with his flat forehand and aggressive serve patterns, aiming to avoid extended rallies. Royer’s recent rhythm from qualifiers primes him for neutral-to-defensive exchanges, where he can leverage depth and consistency.
