A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Darwin Blanch goes up against Tom Gentzsch in the Tampere round of 32. Tom Gentzsch comes in at 5 wins from the last ten. Darwin Blanch is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (4 of the last 10).
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Gentzsch is exactly that — a lean.
