Dominic Stricker and Norbert Gombos meet in the round of 16 at Zug on Thursday. Dominic Stricker has won 5 of the last 10. Norbert Gombos is searching for form, having lost 3 in a row (3 of the last 10).
There is no history here: this is their first tour-level meeting.
The serve is where this match separates: Stricker has been winning 75.6% of first-serve points to Gombos's 69.6%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. Anything other than a Stricker win would rank among the bigger surprises of the week.
