A spot in the next round is at stake on Thursday, when Daniel Vallejo goes up against Rafael Jodar in the Tokyo round of 32. Rafael Jodar has won 7 of the last 10. Daniel Vallejo comes in at 4 wins from the last ten.

The serve is where this match separates: Jodar has been winning 69.5% of first-serve points to Vallejo's 65.2%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. The edge belongs to Jodar — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
