A spot in the next round is at stake on Monday, when Abedallah Shelbayh goes up against Michael Zheng in the Bloomfield Hills round of 32. Michael Zheng has dropped 2 straight and sits at 3-7 over the last ten. Abedallah Shelbayh is 1-9 across recent matches.
There is no history here: this is their first tour-level meeting.
Zheng's 70.8% behind the first serve (against 66.7% for Shelbayh) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Zheng should have enough here, though Shelbayh has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
