Pick: Zandschulp

Win probability: 52% Zandschulp · Market: -184 · Sets: 3 (45%) · most likely score 2-0 (29%)

On paper it's close: comparable ratings, comparable serve numbers, small margins everywhere. Bonzi comes in off a compressed schedule; Zandschulp comes in off a compressed schedule. Little separates them; Zandschulp gets the nod on the finest of margins.

Fabian Marozsan vs. Martin Damm

✗ Pick wrongA miss: Martin Damm at 51% lost to Fabian Marozsan (2-6 6-3 6-3).

Pick: DammUpset call

Upset call: the market makes Marozsan the favorite; our numbers say Damm.

Win probability: 51% Damm · Market: +122 · Sets: 3 (46%) · most likely score 2-0 (27%)

A spot in the next round is at stake on Thursday, when Fabian Marozsan goes up against Martin Damm in the Winston-Salem round of 16. Martin Damm is 4-6 across recent matches. Fabian Marozsan is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (5 of the last 10).

Damm's 77.3% behind the first serve (against 69.6% for Marozsan) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Marozsan comes in off a compressed schedule; Damm comes in off a compressed schedule. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Damm is exactly that — a lean.

Ignacio Buse vs. Juan Manuel Cerundolo

✗ Pick wrongA miss: Juan Manuel Cerundolo at 58% lost to Ignacio Buse (7-6 4-6 6-2).

Pick: Cerundolo

Win probability: 58% Cerundolo · Market: -115 · Sets: 3 (52%) · most likely score 2-1 (30%)

A spot in the next round is at stake on Thursday, when Ignacio Buse goes up against Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the Winston-Salem quarterfinal. Juan Manuel Cerundolo comes in at 6 wins from the last ten. Ignacio Buse comes in at 5 wins from the last ten.

On paper it's close: comparable ratings, comparable serve numbers, small margins everywhere. Buse comes in off a compressed schedule. Little separates them; Cerundolo gets the nod on the finest of margins.

Clara Tauson vs. Ekaterina Alexandrova

✗ Pick wrongWe got this one wrong. Our final number was 57% on Ekaterina Alexandrova; Clara Tauson won 7-6 4-6 6-3.

Pick: Alexandrova

Win probability: 57% Alexandrova · Market: +112 · Sets: 2 (63%) · most likely score 2-0 (37%)

A spot in the next round is at stake on Thursday, when Clara Tauson goes up against Ekaterina Alexandrova in the Monterrey round of 16. Ekaterina Alexandrova is 6-4 across recent matches. Clara Tauson is 3-7 across recent matches.

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 Alexandrova fractionally more likely to land the big points.

Alycia Parks vs. Ann Li

✓ Pick rightThis one lands on the correct side of the ledger: 60% on Ann Li, who won 6-2 6-3.

Pick: Li

The underlying stats are tight across the board — this is a matchup decided by a handful of points. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Chwalinska fractionally more likely to land the big points.

Darja Vidmanova vs. Nikola Bartunkova

✓ Pick rightNailed it. We had Nikola Bartunkova at 66% before the match, and Nikola Bartunkova won 6-4 6-7 6-3.

Pick: Bartunkova

Win probability: 66% Bartunkova · Market: -170 · Sets: 2 (61%) · most likely score 2-0 (43%)

A spot in the next round is at stake on Thursday, when Darja Vidmanova goes up against Nikola Bartunkova in the Monterrey quarterfinal. Nikola Bartunkova comes in at 6 wins from the last ten. Darja Vidmanova is 6-4 across recent matches.

Bartunkova's 68.1% behind the first serve (against 62.9% for Vidmanova) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Bartunkova should have enough here, though Vidmanova has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
