Alves M. vs Fernandez B.

Published reasoning

Estimated probability: 76%. Alves took a set in 8/10 recent completed clay matches and won all eight, including two wins over Sakamoto and a 2-1 win over Pereira. Fernandez has sets in 5/10 and was swept by Munk Mesa, Midon, Roncadelli and Farjat. Main risk: Alves lost 0-2 to Pereira on October 5 and Villanueva on October 1, and several wins were against very weak opposition; Fernandez just beat Donoso. Rankings 385 versus 567 and model 73% support a set selection, with no H2H.
