Luka Pavlovic and Yi Zhou meet in the round of 16 at Segovia on Wednesday. Yi Zhou has won 5 of the last 10. Luka Pavlovic limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 2 wins in 10.
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
The underlying stats are tight across the board — this is a matchup decided by a handful of points. Pavlovic comes in off a compressed schedule. Expect resistance, but the match-level math tilts clearly toward Zhou.
