Share card

5 matches are on Monday's card at Kitzbuhel, and we have a pick for every one of them. The headline act: Ignacio Buse against Vit Kopriva in the round of 32. Our calls: Buse over Kopriva, Navone over Muller, Hanfmann over Neumayer, Acosta over Cina, Schwaerzler over Rodionov.

The boldest call on the card: Schwaerzler over Rodionov — the market disagrees with us there.

Lukas Neumayer vs. Yannick Hanfmann

✓ Pick rightWe got this one right. Yannick Hanfmann was our 70% pick, and won 7-6 6-4.

Pick: Hanfmann

Win probability: 70% Hanfmann · Sets: 3 (44%) · most likely score 2-0 (42%)

A spot in the next round is at stake on Monday, when Lukas Neumayer goes up against Yannick Hanfmann in the Kitzbuhel round of 32. Yannick Hanfmann has won 4 of the last 10. Lukas Neumayer has dropped 2 straight and sits at 7-3 over the last ten.

Yannick Hanfmann has had the better of this rivalry, winning 2 of 2 against Lukas Neumayer. On clay specifically it reads 2-0 Hanfmann — worth more than the overall number this week.

The serve is where this match separates: Hanfmann has been winning 70.2% of first-serve points to Neumayer's 66.8%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. The edge belongs to Hanfmann — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.

Alexandre Muller vs. Mariano Navone

✓ Pick rightThis one lands on the correct side of the ledger: 64% on Mariano Navone, who won 6-4 6-0.

Pick: Navone

Win probability: 64% Navone · Sets: 2 (63%) · most likely score 2-0 (42%)

A spot in the next round is at stake on Monday, when Alexandre Muller goes up against Mariano Navone in the Kitzbuhel round of 32. Mariano Navone has dropped 5 straight and sits at 3-7 over the last ten. Alexandre Muller has dropped 10 straight and sits at 0-10 over the last ten.

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

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

Ignacio Buse vs. Vit Kopriva

✓ Pick rightWe got this one right. Ignacio Buse was our 60% pick, and won 7-5 6-7 6-1.

Pick: Buse

Win probability: 60% Buse · Sets: 3 (46%) · most likely score 2-0 (33%)

Ignacio Buse and Vit Kopriva meet in the round of 32 at Kitzbuhel on Monday. Ignacio Buse is searching for form, having lost 3 in a row (3 of the last 10). Vit Kopriva limps in on a 3-match losing skid, just 4 wins in 10.

The ledger favors Vit Kopriva, 1-0 across their 1 meetings with Ignacio Buse.

Hold strength tells the story — 70.6% versus 67% on first-serve points in Buse's favor. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Buse fractionally more likely to land the big points.

Facundo Diaz Acosta vs. Federico Cina

✓ Pick rightThis one lands on the correct side of the ledger: 72% on Facundo Diaz Acosta, who won 4-6 6-3 6-4.

Pick: Acosta

Win probability: 72% Acosta · Sets: 2 (59%) · most likely score 2-0 (44%)

Monday's Kitzbuhel round of 32 pits Facundo Diaz Acosta against Federico Cina on clay. Facundo Diaz Acosta has dropped 2 straight and sits at 8-2 over the last ten. Federico Cina has dropped 4 straight and sits at 4-6 over the last ten.

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

Facundo Diaz Acosta is clearly higher-rated on clay — our number puts Acosta around 72%. The edge belongs to Acosta — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.

Joel Schwaerzler vs. Jurij Rodionov

✗ Pick wrongWe got this one wrong. Our final number was 61% on Joel Schwaerzler; Jurij Rodionov won 6-4 6-2.

Pick: SchwaerzlerUpset call

Upset call: the market makes Rodionov the favorite; our numbers say Schwaerzler.

Win probability: 61% Schwaerzler · Sets: 3 (49%) · most likely score 2-0 (31%)

Monday's Kitzbuhel round of 32 pits Joel Schwaerzler against Jurij Rodionov on clay. Joel Schwaerzler is searching for form, having lost 4 in a row (3 of the last 10). Jurij Rodionov is searching for form, having lost 7 in a row (2 of the last 10).

Jurij Rodionov has had the better of this rivalry, winning 1 of 1 against Joel Schwaerzler. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Rodionov — worth more than the overall number this week.

On paper it's close: comparable ratings, comparable serve numbers, small margins everywhere. Schwaerzler should have enough here, though Rodionov has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
