Today Guise Bruver and James Dakworth will meet at the tournament in Houston. Dakworth, although higher ranked, has shown weak results on clay - only a 29% win rate in recent years. He recently barely defeated Baibit Zhukaev and lost to Alexis Galarneau. Meanwhile, Bruver, good on clay and on the Houston courts, has beaten strong players like Isner and Wolf. Bruver is in good form after a successful qualification. Therefore, it is expected that Bruver will be able to offer serious resistance to his opponent and has a good chance of winning this match.
