A spot in the next round is at stake on Saturday, when Alex Bolt goes up against Lloyd Harris in the Jingshan semifinal. Lloyd Harris is 6-4 across recent matches. Alex Bolt comes in at 3 wins from the last ten.
Hold strength tells the story — 74.3% versus 70.4% on first-serve points in Harris's favor. Bolt comes in off a compressed schedule; Harris comes in off a compressed schedule. The edge belongs to Harris — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
