Matchup analysis
The 🎯 Baseliner archetype wins about 58% vs 🎾 All-Court across 590 matches in our dataset. That is a small stylistic lean for Florent Bax here.
Baseliner players often use precise groundstrokes and court control to pressure the all-court's tactical versatility. On Hard, that can swing with conditions.

Match summary
Robert Strombachs meets Florent Bax in the Round of 32 at the Cote d'Ivoire Open 2 on April 27, a hard court event that brings together two mid-ranked players seeking momentum. Strombachs sits at number 499 while Bax holds number 265, a gap that reflects their divergent trajectories in recent weeks.
The two have never faced each other. Both players have struggled on hard courts by their own standards. Strombachs has won 9 of his last 20 matches on the surface and is riding a two-match losing streak, though he has won two of his last five overall. Bax has posted a 10-10 record on hard and won two of five recently, but has played more frequently, with three matches in the past two weeks compared to Strombachs' one.
Strombachs operates across the court with serve and volley tools in his arsenal, while Bax constructs points from the baseline. Strombachs' hard court record stands at 45%, whereas Bax sits at 50%. The matchup tests whether Strombachs can find rhythm with limited recent match play, and whether Bax's baseline consistency can withstand the variety in Strombachs' game.
