Latak, Marcel Player Overview
Marcel Latak comes into this match after a run of inconsistent results: six wins and four losses in his last 10 matches. He has a successful junior US Open final to his name, but that was followed by two defeats at senior tournaments, including a loss to Mitchell Krueger in qualifying for the Charlottesville Challenger.

Clement Chidekh Player Overview
Clement Chidekh is ranked 131st and has been in consistent form, with seven wins and three defeats in his last 10 matches. He recently beat Jack Kennedy and Marcos Giron, losing only to Stefan Kozlov in the semi-finals of the Charlottesville Challenger. The Frenchman is holding serve reliably, winning 66% of his service games, and has a strong break-point conversion rate of 54%. At the same time, Chidekh has not won more than 12.5 games in any of his last five matches, suggesting a tendency to win in straight sets without a large game tally. His figures for sets and games won confirm his status as favourite, though large winning margins have not been particularly frequent.
