Newport Predictions & Picks — July 10, 2026

Jacob Fearnley and Stefan Kozlov meet in the round of 16 at Newport on Friday. Stefan Kozlov is 3-7 across recent matches. Jacob Fearnley limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 6 wins in 10.

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

On paper it's close: comparable ratings, comparable serve numbers, small margins everywhere. Fearnley is running on fumes after a brutal stretch of scheduling; Kozlov is running on fumes after a brutal stretch of scheduling. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Kozlov fractionally more likely to land the big points.

Adam Walton and Arthur Gea meet in the quarterfinal at Newport on Friday. Adam Walton comes in at 8 wins from the last ten. Arthur Gea has won 4 of the last 10.

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

Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. Walton comes in off a compressed schedule; Gea comes in off a compressed schedule. Little separates them; Walton gets the nod on the finest of margins.

A spot in the next round is at stake on Friday, when Alex Michelsen goes up against Liam Broady in the Newport quarterfinal. Alex Michelsen comes in at 6 wins from the last ten. Liam Broady comes in at 6 wins from the last ten.

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

Hold strength tells the story — 71.1% versus 67.2% on first-serve points in Michelsen's favor. Michelsen comes in off a compressed schedule; Broady comes in off a compressed schedule. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Michelsen is exactly that — a lean.

Elizabeth Mandlik and Katie Volynets meet in the quarterfinal at Newport on Friday. Elizabeth Mandlik has won 3 in a row and 4 of the last 10 overall. Katie Volynets is rolling — 3 straight wins, 6 of 10 in recent play.

Mandlik's 62.2% behind the first serve (against 57% for Volynets) means break chances should be scarce in one direction.
