Rocha also brings momentum with a three-match winning streak and an identical 70% win rate across his last ten matches.

Safiullin brings the style of a big hitter who relies on power and aggressive shot-making. Rocha plays as a tenacious competitor, grinding through points and relying on consistency and court positioning.
