H2H: Liam Broady (WR 126) Corentin Moutet (WR 73)
Tournament Previous Best QR2 (2017, 2021) N/A
1st Serve % 56.4 64.6
Service Games Won % 72.7 75.4
Break Points Saved % 56.6 60.7
2nd Serve Return Points Won % 53.1 51
Break Points Converted % 43.2 29.3

Moutet has the more effective serve heading into this match but Broady’s break point efficiency gives him a great chance of making the second round in Washington.

 

 

Playing styles and prediction

Moutet has had a poor season with the Frenchman falling down the rankings with Mallorca being the only event this season that he has one back-to-back matches in. Now Moutet looks to rediscover his form in America as he looks for a return to the top 60 in the world rankings.

Broady will look to be aggressive on return and test Moutet’s confidence from the baseline with the Brit looking to dictate rallies with his backhand. Meanwhile the Frenchman will look to produce effortless power and consistency to expose weaknesses in Broady’s decision making. This will be a tough test for Broady but the Brit is the slightly more confident player at the moment and should edge to victory here.

Prediction: Broady in three sets.
