Denis Yevseyev and Guy Den Ouden meet in the round of 32 at Bunschoten on Tuesday. Guy Den Ouden has won 4 of the last 10. Denis Yevseyev has dropped 3 straight and sits at 3-7 over the last ten.
The two have never played — a first meeting always adds a layer of uncertainty the numbers can't fully capture.
Hold strength tells the story — 67.1% versus 62.8% on first-serve points in Ouden's favor. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Ouden fractionally more likely to land the big points.
