Filip Cristian Jianu and Norbert Gombos meet in the round of 32 at Zug on Tuesday. Norbert Gombos is searching for form, having lost 3 in a row (3 of the last 10). Filip Cristian Jianu limps in on a 4-match losing skid, just 2 wins in 10.
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
Hold strength tells the story — 69.5% versus 63.2% on first-serve points in Gombos's favor. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Gombos is exactly that — a lean.
