A spot in the next round is at stake on Monday, when Adrian Mannarino goes up against Thiago Agustin Tirante in the US Open first round. Thiago Agustin Tirante comes in at 8 wins from the last ten. Adrian Mannarino limps in on a 4-match losing skid, just 3 wins in 10.
There's a wide gap in our ratings on hard, and our number follows from it. The edge belongs to Tirante — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
