- Altmaier went to 3 sets in 5 of his last 10 matches (50%)
- Clay surface historically produces more three-set matches than hard courts

- Clay courts produce fewer tiebreaks than hard courts due to longer rallies creating more break opportunities
- Cilic's break point conversion rate (38.7%) and Altmaier's break point save rate (61.3%) suggest breaks will occur
- In the H2H, only one set (the third) required a tiebreak

- Altmaier's ace rate is 8.5% (3,858 career aces)
