Abedallah Shelbayh and Mitchell Krueger meet in the semifinal at Columbus on Saturday. Mitchell Krueger brings a 3-match winning streak into this one, 6-4 across the last ten. Abedallah Shelbayh has won 3 in a row and 7 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. Shelbayh comes in off a compressed schedule. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Krueger fractionally more likely to land the big points.
