Match summary
Mili Poljicak meets Maxim Mrva in the Round of 16 of the Bosphorus Challenger Cup on May 20, a clay court encounter between two players ranked near 325. The two have never faced each other. Poljicak arrives fresh off a win two days ago, while Mrva played three days back.
Poljicak has won 8 of his last 10 matches overall and 3 of his last 5. Mrva's recent form is significantly weaker: he has won 2 of his last 10 and 1 of his last 5. On clay, Poljicak sits at 14-6 (70%) in recent play, while Maxim Mrva stands at 7-13 (35%). The two have split results against common opponents Dimitar Kuzmanov and Federico Cina, with Poljicak beating Kimmer Coppejans while Mrva lost to him.
Poljicak operates as a counterpuncher, building points off his opponent's pace and mistakes rather than dictating from the baseline. Mrva brings an aggressive, pressure-based style to the court. On clay, Poljicak's defensive positioning and court sense have produced consistent results, whereas Mrva's aggressive approach has struggled to convert in his recent matches on the surface. Poljicak will need to stay composed in rallies while Mrva must find ways to shorten points and avoid extended baseline exchanges.
