A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Mark Lajal goes up against Mitchell Krueger in the Lincoln round of 16. Mark Lajal has dropped 2 straight and sits at 6-4 over the last ten. Mitchell Krueger comes in at 4 wins from the last ten.
The two have never played — a first meeting always adds a layer of uncertainty the numbers can't fully capture.
Lajal's 73.9% behind the first serve (against 69.3% for Krueger) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Lajal arrives with very little recovery time. Little separates them; Lajal gets the nod on the finest of margins.
