RBA's significant clay-court proficiency advantage is undeniable. His career 60%+ clay win rate, coupled with baseline consistency, is a stark contrast to Nakashima's sub-40% success on dirt. Nakashima's power game will struggle to generate high-leverage points in Rome's slow conditions, inflating his unforced error differential. Market pricing, reflecting a 67%+ implied win probability for RBA, aligns with this deep surface mismatch. 88% YES — invalid if RBA experiences an in-match injury.
