Frederico Ferreira Silva and Luca Van Assche meet in the round of 32 at Estoril on Monday. Luca Van Assche comes in at 7 wins from the last ten. Frederico Ferreira Silva limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 3 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.
Luca Van Assche simply rates much higher on clay, and our number follows from it. Assche should have enough here, though Silva has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
