Iasi Predictions & Picks — July 8, 2026

Wednesday's Iasi round of 16 pits Jerome Kym against Sascha Gueymard Wayenburg on clay. Jerome Kym comes in at 7 wins from the last ten. Sascha Gueymard Wayenburg comes in at 4 wins from the last ten.

There is no history here: this is their first tour-level meeting.

Kym's 75.1% behind the first serve (against 69.5% for Wayenburg) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Wayenburg comes in off a compressed schedule. The edge belongs to Kym — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.

Wednesday's Iasi round of 16 pits Maks Kasnikowski against Pedro Martinez on clay. Maks Kasnikowski is 5-5 across recent matches. Pedro Martinez comes in at 3 wins from the last ten.

The ledger favors Pedro Martinez, 1-0 across their 1 meetings with Maks Kasnikowski.

The serve is where this match separates: Kasnikowski has been winning 70.3% of first-serve points to Martinez's 65%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. Martinez comes in off a compressed schedule. Kasnikowski should have enough here, though Martinez has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.

A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Ilia Simakin goes up against Lautaro Midon in the Iasi round of 16. Ilia Simakin has won 2 of the last 10. Lautaro Midon is 6-4 across recent matches.

The two have never played — a first meeting always adds a layer of uncertainty the numbers can't fully capture.

Simakin's 70.9% behind the first serve (against 63.9% for Midon) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Simakin comes in off a compressed schedule. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Simakin fractionally more likely to land the big points.

Damir Dzumhur and Zsombor Piros meet in the round of 16 at Iasi on Wednesday. Zsombor Piros brings a 6-match winning streak into this one, 8-2 across the last ten. Damir Dzumhur is 3-7 across recent matches.

This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.

Zsombor Piros simply rates much higher on clay, and our number follows from it. Expect resistance, but the match-level math tilts clearly toward Piros.
