A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Francesco Passaro goes up against Henri Squire in the Trieste round of 16. Francesco Passaro is 4-6 across recent matches. Henri Squire is 6-4 across recent matches.
Henri Squire leads the head-to-head 1-0, and history has a way of mattering in matchups like this one. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Squire — worth more than the overall number this week.
Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. Passaro comes in off a compressed schedule. Little separates them; Passaro gets the nod on the finest of margins.
