P. Kotov - G. Den Ouden
0:2 (2-6, 1-6)
Heilbronn
P. Kotov

Player Overview

Pavel Kotov, ranked 1914 in Elo ratings, has a career win percentage of 57.5%, but his current form over the last two years shows a decline, with a win rate of just 52.7%. Recently, his performance has been slipping, reflected in a troubling trend where he has won only 60% of his last five matches, a stark drop from earlier this season.

Kotov's recent outings paint a grim picture, with three consecutive losses, including a defeat to G. Den Ouden in their last match on June 1, where he failed to win a set. This pattern raises concerns ahead of their next encounter, as he faces an opponent who has recently bested him, suggesting that without a significant turnaround, Kotov may struggle once again.
