 Daniel Mevvedev vs. Tafana Sidney Pass is the second group match for these guys in the ATP finals for 2022. And both guys had disappointing starts to their tournament. To start the season, Sidney Pass was at number four in the world and with a strange mid-season slump, he recovered well to end the year off as number three in the world. His record for the season 59 wins 22 losses. One of the most active players this year and another massive season of tournaments played. He did make five finals, but he only won the two titles from those five finals. He went back to back in Monte Carlo and he won his first grass court event in Mallorca just before Wimbledon. His best win, he beat Daniel Mevvedev in Cincinnati, who was number one at the time. A very big win for Steph, especially on a hard court and against a guy that he hasn't beaten that many times in their careers. His worst loss though was at the start of the year in Marseille against the 163 in the world, Sir Fulin, who was a qualifier in that event. Daniel Mevvedev started the season off as the world number two. And as we know, he was number one in the world a couple of times this year, up until the U.S. Open where Alcares took over and Mevvedev dropped down the rankings before settling down at number five in the world heading into these finals. His win-loss record, 43 wins 19 losses. Not as many wins as some of the other guys because he was at injured for most of the clay court season, so he didn't get a chance to play a lot of the matches while others did. And he had a very tough time in finals this year. Two titles from the five finals that he played. His only titles being in Los Carbos and Vienna a few weeks ago. His best win was against Stefano Siddi-Pas, the world number four at the time at the Australian Open. But his worst loss was against the 284th ranked Vavrenka, who was on the comeback, and that was at Metz. It's been a very strange season for Mevvedev, some highs of being world number one, but also some lows of missing opportunities. These guys have played ten times before with Mevvedev leading the head seven-three. But the three that Siddi-Pas has won have been in the last five matches, including their last match in Cincinnati, where Siddi-Pas finally got the win over Mevvedev on a hard court. If Mevvedev is going to win this one, he needs to be aggressive from the start. He also needs to serve as well as he did against Rublev. But he needs to get on the baseline and not just defend like he was against Rublev. Get inside the baseline, push Siddi-Pas around, be the bigger hitter. If Siddi-Pas is going to win this one, he needs to come to the net and have a lot of variety. It worked against Mevvedev in Cincinnati a few months ago, but he needs to do that again. On the fast court, it's going to favor aggression. So if he can come to the net and use that serve, it should be working. This is going to be a very interesting match because both guys are coming off a loss and they're going to be very hungry to get a win in their second match up. But I'm going to go with Mevvedev in this one, just. I think that Mevvedev is going to turn the tables on Siddi-Pas after what happened in Cincinnati. And I feel like this is going to be fireworks. Expect some crazy things to happen in this match. These guys are not very friendly towards each other, but let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think is going to win this fireworks match?
