3 matches are on Wednesday's card at Szczecin, and we have a pick for every one of them. The headline act: Laslo Djere against Luka Mikrut in the round of 16. Our calls: Djere over Mikrut, Monteiro over Sachko, Gentzsch over Krumich.
Pick: Gentzsch
Win probability: 67% Gentzsch · Market: -144 · Sets: 3 (44%) · most likely score 2-0 (40%)
Martin Krumich and Tom Gentzsch meet in the round of 16 at Szczecin on Wednesday. Tom Gentzsch comes in at 7 wins from the last ten. Martin Krumich is 5-5 across recent matches.
Gentzsch's 73.1% behind the first serve (against 69.6% for Krumich) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Expect resistance, but the match-level math tilts clearly toward Gentzsch.
Pick: Monteiro
Win probability: 54% Monteiro · Market: -113 · Sets: 3 (49%) · most likely score 2-0 (27%)
Thiago Monteiro and Vitaliy Sachko meet in the round of 16 at Szczecin on Wednesday. Thiago Monteiro is 6-4 across recent matches. Vitaliy Sachko has won 6 of the last 10.
The serve is where this match separates: Monteiro has been winning 71.9% of first-serve points to Sachko's 67.7%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. Sachko comes in off a compressed schedule. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Monteiro is exactly that — a lean.
Pick: Djere
Win probability: 54% Djere · Market: -214 · Sets: 3 (47%) · most likely score 2-0 (28%)
Laslo Djere and Luka Mikrut meet in the round of 16 at Szczecin on Wednesday. Laslo Djere is 6-4 across recent matches. Luka Mikrut has won 5 in a row and 8 of the last 10 overall.
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 Djere fractionally more likely to land the big points.
