A spot in the next round is at stake on Friday, when Gustavo Heide goes up against Mika Brunold in the Tulln quarterfinal. Gustavo Heide has won 6 of the last 10. Mika Brunold is 5-5 across recent matches.

Heide's 71.2% behind the first serve (against 67.1% for Brunold) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Heide comes in off a compressed schedule; Brunold comes in off a compressed schedule. The edge belongs to Heide — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
