Jurij Rodionov vs. Tomas Martin Etcheverry

A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Jurij Rodionov goes up against Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the Kitzbuhel round of 16. Tomas Martin Etcheverry limps in on a 7-match losing skid, just 2 wins in 10. Jurij Rodionov comes in at 2 wins from 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.

Tomas Martin Etcheverry simply rates much higher on clay, and our number follows from it. The edge belongs to Etcheverry — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.

Jan Lennard Struff and Mariano Navone meet in the round of 16 at Kitzbuhel on Wednesday. Mariano Navone has won 3 of the last 10. Jan Lennard Struff 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.

Mariano Navone is clearly higher-rated on clay — our number puts Navone around 51%. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Navone is exactly that — a lean.

Pick: NavoneUpset call

Upset call — the market makes Struff the favorite; our numbers say Navone.

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

Rinderknech's 75% behind the first serve (against 65.1% for Baez) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Baez comes in off a compressed schedule. The edge belongs to Rinderknech — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.

Win probability: 70% Rinderknech · Sets: 2 (60%) · most likely score 2-0 (44%)

Buse's 70.7% behind the first serve (against 63.2% for Feldbausch) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Feldbausch comes in off a compressed schedule. Buse should have enough here, though Feldbausch has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.

Pick: Buse

Win probability: 66% Buse · Sets: 3 (45%) · most likely score 2-0 (37%)

✓ Pick rightNailed it. We had Ignacio Buse at 66% before the match, and Ignacio Buse won 2-6 6-2 6-2.

Alex Molcan has had the better of this rivalry, winning 4 of 4 against Daniel Altmaier. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Molcan — worth more than the overall number this week.

Alex Molcan is clearly higher-rated on clay — our number puts Molcan around 62%. Molcan comes in off a compressed schedule; Altmaier comes in off a compressed schedule. Expect resistance, but the match-level math tilts clearly toward Molcan.

Pick: Molcan

Win probability: 62% Molcan · Sets: 2 (59%) · most likely score 2-0 (38%)

✓ Pick rightWe got this one right. Alex Molcan was our 62% pick, and won 6-3 3-6 7-5.

Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. Halys comes in off a compressed schedule. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Vacherot is exactly that — a lean.

Pick: Vacherot

Win probability: 54% Vacherot · Sets: 2 (59%) · most likely score 2-0 (32%)
