Prediction and Conclusion

Both players failed to make a significant leap in recent years which has caused them not to regularly participate on the ATP tour. Both are still playing on Futures level and having a chance to shine at a Challenger is huge for them. They had a good week in Fairfield and this match can go either way. Given the stage of the tournament and the surface, we are going with over 22.5 games in total.
