A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when J J Wolf goes up against Ze Zhang in the Vancouver round of 32. Ze Zhang comes in at 5 wins from the last ten. J J Wolf has won 2 of the last 10.
The two have never played — a first meeting always adds a layer of uncertainty the numbers can't fully capture.
Ze Zhang simply rates much higher on hard, and our number follows from it. The edge belongs to Zhang — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
