Jakub Mensik vs Ethan Quinn Tips

Jakub Mensik won the only previous meeting in straight sets, and his superior baseline game should again be too strong for Ethan Quinn.

Mensik was better when they met in Madrid this year, but it was on clay, which favors the Czech player. Quinn plays his best on American hard courts. I will take him as a sizeable underdog.

Jakub Mensik won the only previous meeting between the two players in straight sets. He can again prove too strong for Ethan Quinn, winning again in two sets.

When in good shape, Quinn can beat most of the players on American hard courts. It looks like it now. He beat Kecmanovic, Nishioka, and O'Connell during this swing, losing just to Nakashima. I will play 2-1 for the underdog.

Quinn eliminated Kecmanovic in the first round with a 2-0 victory. His last three wins have all been straight-set (2-0) victories. Mensik is coming off a 2-0 loss to Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and has failed to win a set in any of his last three defeats.

Jakub Mensik has a high scoring streak and is currently in good form. He has a good record on hard courts and will therefore win in the opening two sets.

Mensik won the only previous meeting in straight sets and I also expect Mensik to be far too strong today.

Ethan Quinn is in the top 100 for the first time thanks to his good results on hard surfaces. The American player can upset Mensik in these conditions and level the head-to-head score.
