Hugo Dellien and Matej Dodig meet in the round of 16 at Genova on Thursday. Hugo Dellien comes in at 8 wins from the last ten. Matej Dodig has won 5 in a row and 8 of the last 10 overall.

This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.

On paper it's close: comparable ratings, comparable serve numbers, small margins everywhere. Dellien arrives with very little recovery time. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Dellien is exactly that — a lean.
