The two have faced once before, with Van Assche taking that encounter. They've shared common opponents in recent weeks, and the head-to-head results between them and their mutual rivals offer useful context for how this match might unfold.
Skatov arrives with a 40% win rate over his last five matches and has dropped his most recent outing. Van Assche comes in stronger, winning 60% of his last five matches despite also losing his latest contest. Van Assche has played more frequently in the lead-up to this tournament, competing in six matches over the past two weeks compared to Skatov's three.
