A spot in the next round is at stake on Saturday, when Henri Squire goes up against Matej Dodig in the Trieste semifinal. Matej Dodig is rolling — 3 straight wins, 7 of 10 in recent play. Henri Squire brings a 3-match winning streak into this one, 7-3 across the last ten.
There is no history here: this is their first tour-level meeting.
Matej Dodig is clearly higher-rated on clay — our number puts Dodig around 55%. Squire comes in off a compressed schedule; Dodig arrives with very little recovery time. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Dodig is exactly that — a lean.
