 Stefano Scindzi Pass vs Holger Roehner is their second match for the AWP finals for 2023 and both perform differently in their first matchups. Holger Roehner comes into this tournament as a number 8 in the world where he'll be making his debut after last year missing out by one spot finishing number 9. His win-loss record this year is the worst out of anybody with only 43 wins and 22 losses but he has won a title this year and has made two big finals in both Monte Carlo and Roehner along the way. His best win coming against Djokovic in Roehner and his worst loss was against Nakashima a couple of weeks ago at the Shanghai Masters. His form lately has been a little better though making it to the quarter finals of Paris and the semi-finals of Basel in recent times and of course pushing Djokovic last week in Paris to nearly a three-hour match so he's starting to get into form just at the right time. Stefano Scindzi Pass comes to the tournament as the number 6 seed after what has been a bit of a disappointing season for him. His best result at the AWP finals was winning it back in 2019 and his win-loss record for the year is 51 wins, 22 losses which is not exactly what he thought he'd end up with after making the Australian Open Final in January this year. He's only won one title from the three finals that he's played. His best win though was against Verve in Paris last week but he's starting to get into form. Worst loss was at the US Open when he went down to Strikker in a very unexpected matchup. His form however has been pretty good lately making a few semi-finals after a long time then not even making it past the second or third rounds. These two have only played the two times before with Roehner winning both of those including that last meeting, a hard-court meeting inside in Stockholm last year so it's been a long time since they played and the way Scindzi Pass is playing right now it's going to be even tougher knowing that he's not want to match against this guy. If Roehner is going to win this one he needs to play aggressive like he did against Djokovic. He was really unlucky not to beat Djokovic. His body kind of broke down physically at the end. He also probably could have won the first set which meant he might have been able to win straights. Unfortunately he couldn't do that but his aggression was great and he needs to use that again against Scindzi Pass and also use that confidence that he has with that 2-0 lead. Scindzi Pass is going to win this one. He needs to serve better than he did against Sinner. He didn't serve terrible against Sinner. Sinner served much better so maybe it made him look bad but he needs to serve better and if he has got an elbow or a back problem or whatever the injury is that he's coming in he needs to sort of put that out of his mind if he's going to be a chance of getting out of his group. A must win clash for these guys. The loser effectively goes home. The winner still sends a chance of making the semis. I've got to go with Roehner in this one. I just think Roehner right now he looks so much better than Scindzi Pass. Even though Scindzi Pass has played well over the last couple of weeks this injury concern clearly is affecting him. If it's not physical it's definitely affecting him mentally and I've got to go with Roehner in three but let me know down in the comments below who's going to win this one.
