18 matches are on Tuesday's card at Monterrey and Winston-Salem, and we have a pick for every one of them. The headline act: Benjamin Bonzi against Quentin Halys in the round of 32. Our calls: Halys over Bonzi, Medvedev over Damm, Zandschulp over Vallejo, Darderi over Bellucci, Collignon over Hijikata, Parry over Vekic, and 12 more.
The boldest call on the card: Birrell over Vidmanova — the market disagrees with us there.
✗ Pick wrongA miss: Quentin Halys at 51% lost to Benjamin Bonzi (2-6 7-6 6-3).
Pick: HalysUpset call
Upset call: the market favors Bonzi; our numbers say Halys.
Win probability: 51% Halys · Market: -158 · We call it in 3 sets (44%) · single likeliest score 2-0 (29%)
A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Benjamin Bonzi goes up against Quentin Halys in the Winston-Salem round of 32. Quentin Halys comes in at 8 wins from the last ten. Benjamin Bonzi has dropped 3 straight and sits at 5-5 over the last ten.
The serve is where this match separates: Halys has been winning 77.3% of first-serve points to Bonzi's 69.9%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. Bonzi comes in off a compressed schedule. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Halys fractionally more likely to land the big points.
✗ Pick wrongWe got this one wrong. Our final number was 70% on Daniil Medvedev; Martin Damm won 7-5 6-3.
Pick: Medvedev
Win probability: 70% Medvedev · Market: -312 · We call it in 2 sets (63%) · single likeliest score 2-0 (46%)
A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Daniil Medvedev goes up against Martin Damm in the Winston-Salem round of 32. Daniil Medvedev has won 6 of the last 10. Martin Damm has won 4 of the last 10.
Daniil Medvedev is clearly higher-rated on hard — our number puts Medvedev around 70%. The edge belongs to Medvedev — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
✓ Pick rightWe got this one right. Botic Van De Zandschulp was our 60% pick, and won 6-2 6-0.
Pick: Zandschulp
Win probability: 60% Zandschulp · Market: -144 · We call it in 3 sets (45%) · single likeliest score 2-0 (34%)
A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Botic Van De Zandschulp goes up against Daniel Vallejo in the Winston-Salem round of 32. Botic Van De Zandschulp is 5-5 across recent matches. Daniel Vallejo comes in at 6 wins from the last ten.
The two have never played — a first meeting always adds a layer of uncertainty the numbers can't fully capture.
The serve is where this match separates: Zandschulp has been winning 72% of first-serve points to Vallejo's 64.9%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. Expect resistance, but the match-level math tilts clearly toward Zandschulp.
✓ Pick rightNailed it. We had Luciano Darderi at 52% before the match, and Luciano Darderi won 2-6 6-4 6-2.
Pick: Darderi

Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Darderi fractionally more likely to land the big points.

✓ Pick rightThis one lands on the correct side of the ledger: 51% on Diane Parry, who won 6-7 6-4 6-1.
Pick: ParryUpset call
