A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Mariano Navone goes up against Valentin Vacherot in the Montreal round of 64. Valentin Vacherot is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (6 of the last 10). Mariano Navone comes in at 5 wins from the last ten.
Hold strength tells the story — 72% versus 62.4% on first-serve points in Vacherot's favor. The edge belongs to Vacherot — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
