A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Daniel Altmaier goes up against Hugo Gaston in the Bastad round of 32. Daniel Altmaier has dropped 2 straight and sits at 4-6 over the last ten. Hugo Gaston has won 4 in a row and 6 of the last 10 overall.
The rivalry is dead level: 1-1 across 2 matches. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Gaston — worth more than the overall number this week.
Altmaier's 71.1% behind the first serve (against 65.7% for Gaston) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Altmaier fractionally more likely to land the big points.
