The Umag title is on the line on Saturday, when Damir Dzumhur meets Daniel Merida Aguilar. Daniel Merida Aguilar brings a 4-match winning streak into this one, 7-3 across the last ten. Damir Dzumhur has won 4 in a row and 5 of the last 10 overall.
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
The underlying stats are tight across the board — this is a matchup decided by a handful of points. The edge belongs to Aguilar — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
