Pick: Vilius Gaubas @1.430 8/10 -8.00
Vilius Gaubas plays very good tennis, and his level keeps improving with each tournament. He is very strong psychologically and can quickly bounce back after losing a break point. I would say that Boyer, his previous opponent from Ghana, was a serious challenge for Gaubas, with decent technique, good serves, and movement, but Gaubas still managed to win 2:0, even after being broken in the first set. Also, Ajdukovic had a great serve and powerful shots, and even though he won the first set, he ended up losing the match.
Pablo Llamas Ruiz is not someone to be underestimated, but looking at the statistics, he should be an advantageous opponent for Gaubas because he doesn't have a strong serve and his technique is probably not great, even though he started playing this year after not playing in any tournaments since May. He made it to the quarterfinals in a challenger tournament in Spain this season, but in other tournaments, he usually loses in the first or second round. He also had some kind of win against Svrnica, but I didn't see that match, so it's possible that he was dealing with an injury. This should be something that can help Gaubas to focus even more and relax a bit against the Spaniard. On the other hand, our opponent also lacks consistency after coming back from an injury - he can easily win one match, but then lose the next one.
