3 matches are on Tuesday's card at Phan Thiet 3 (Vietnam), and we have a pick for every one of them. The headline act: Max Purcell against Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez in the round of 32. Our calls: Purcell over Mendez, Bax over Jones, Sekulic over Bouzige.

Florent Bax vs. Maximus Jones

✗ Pick wrongWe got this one wrong. Our final number was 56% on Florent Bax; Maximus Jones won 6-0 3-6 7-6.

Pick: Bax

Win probability: 56% Bax · Market: -109 · Sets: 3 (48%) · most likely score 2-0 (29%)

A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Florent Bax goes up against Maximus Jones in the Phan Thiet 3 (Vietnam) round of 32. Florent Bax limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 5 wins in 10. Maximus Jones is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (4 of the last 10).

The serve is where this match separates: Bax has been winning 76% of first-serve points to Jones's 70.6%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Bax is exactly that — a lean.

Max Purcell vs. Rodrigo Pacheco Mendez

✓ Pick rightThis one lands on the correct side of the ledger: 53% on Max Purcell, who won 6-3 6-4.

Pick: Purcell

Win probability: 53% Purcell · Market: -117 · Sets: 3 (44%) · most likely score 2-0 (30%)
