2 matches are on Wednesday's card at Bloomfield Hills, and we have a pick for every one of them. The headline act: Adam Walton against Thanasi Kokkinakis in the round of 16. Our calls: Kokkinakis over Walton, Lajal over Ruiz.

Adam Walton vs. Thanasi Kokkinakis

✗ Pick wrongWe got this one wrong. Our final number was 59% on Thanasi Kokkinakis; Adam Walton won 2-6 6-3 7-6.

Pick: Kokkinakis

Win probability: 59% Kokkinakis · Sets: 2 (60%) · most likely score 2-0 (36%)

Wednesday's Bloomfield Hills round of 16 pits Adam Walton against Thanasi Kokkinakis on hard. Thanasi Kokkinakis is 7-3 across recent matches. Adam Walton has won 7 of the last 10.

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

Hold strength tells the story — 74.7% versus 70.7% on first-serve points in Kokkinakis's favor. Kokkinakis comes in off a compressed schedule. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Kokkinakis fractionally more likely to land the big points.

Mark Lajal vs. Pablo Llamas Ruiz

✓ Pick rightWe got this one right. Mark Lajal was our 55% pick, and won 6-2 4-6 7-6.

Pick: Lajal

Win probability: 55% Lajal · Sets: 3 (48%) · most likely score 2-0 (28%)

Wednesday's Bloomfield Hills round of 16 pits Mark Lajal against Pablo Llamas Ruiz on hard. Mark Lajal has won 6 of the last 10. Pablo Llamas Ruiz comes in at 5 wins from the last ten.

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

The serve is where this match separates: Lajal has been winning 74.2% of first-serve points to Ruiz's 65.9%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. Lajal comes in off a compressed schedule. Little separates them; Lajal gets the nod on the finest of margins.
