The Santa Cruz 2 title is on the line on Sunday, when Hugo Dellien meets Thiago Seyboth Wild. Thiago Seyboth Wild brings a 4-match winning streak into this one, 9-1 across the last ten. Hugo Dellien has won 4 in a row and 8 of the last 10 overall.

The serve is where this match separates: Wild has been winning 69% of first-serve points to Dellien's 63.3%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. Dellien comes in off a compressed schedule; Wild comes in off a compressed schedule. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Wild fractionally more likely to land the big points.
