A spot in the next round is at stake on Thursday, when Jack Draper goes up against Martin Landaluce in the Cincinnati first round. Jack Draper limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 6 wins in 10. Martin Landaluce is searching for form, having lost 6 in a row (3 of the last 10).
The serve is where this match separates: Draper has been winning 74.3% of first-serve points to Landaluce's 70.7%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. Anything other than a Draper win would rank among the bigger surprises of the week.
