A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Gabriele Piraino goes up against Laslo Djere in the Genova round of 16. Laslo Djere is 6-4 across recent matches. Gabriele Piraino has won 6 of the last 10.

Hold strength tells the story — 72.3% versus 62.7% on first-serve points in Djere's favor. The edge belongs to Djere — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
