A spot in the next round is at stake on Friday, when Johannus Monday goes up against Shintaro Mochizuki in the Winnipeg quarterfinal. Johannus Monday comes in at 6 wins from the last ten. Shintaro Mochizuki has won 7 of the last 10.
There is no history here: this is their first tour-level meeting.
Monday's 74.4% behind the first serve (against 69% for Mochizuki) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Monday comes in off a compressed schedule. If Monday plays anywhere close to a normal level, this ends in relatively comfortable fashion.
