A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Carlos Taberner goes up against Zizou Bergs in the US Open first round. Zizou Bergs has dropped 2 straight and sits at 6-4 over the last ten. Carlos Taberner has won 5 of the last 10.

Hold strength tells the story — 72.7% versus 65.1% on first-serve points in Bergs's favor. Bergs should have enough here, though Taberner has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
