Wednesday's Newport round of 32 pits James Mccabe against Rei Sakamoto on grass. Rei Sakamoto has won 4 of the last 10. James Mccabe comes in at 4 wins from the last ten.
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. Sakamoto should have enough here, though Mccabe has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
