In those matches he converted 67% of break points while Erhard converted only 36%, and Montes-De La Torre won 69% of first-serve points to Erhard's 64%. That pattern gives Montes-De La Torre a clear edge in this matchup, though the sample is only two matches.

- In the June meeting, Montes-De La Torre won 3-6 6-4 6-2 and converted 67% of break points to Erhard's 36%.

Erhard has won five of his last six hard-court matches, including a 6-3 7-6(4) win over world No. 104 Damir Dzumhur in August. His hard-court serve has been effective, with 9.0 aces per match and 79.6% first-serve points won in that sample. That recent level makes him a dangerous opponent despite the ranking gap.
- Erhard is 5-1 on hard courts in his last six matches, with wins over Dzumhur (No. 104) and Charles Broom (No. 237).
- In those six hard-court matches, Erhard averaged 9.0 aces per match and won 79.6% of first-serve points.
Montes-De La Torre, 24, is ranked 274 and has a 67.8% career win rate, with 62 career hard-court wins.
