Braden Shick Player Overview
Braeden Schnur heads into US Open qualifying on the back of five wins from his last eight matches, though his overall record across ten matches also stands at five wins.

Match Results: Braden Shick
Clement Tabur Player Overview
Tabur has an identical record over his last ten matches - five wins - though his results have been more erratic, with no clear winning or losing run. In his last three outings he lost twice (to Orlando Luz and Henry Squire) and won once (against Edas Butvilas). On serve, the Frenchman holds at around 79% of his service games, and his ace rate is well above average at 6.2 per match.
That said, Tabur is more vulnerable to being broken: opponents convert roughly one in two break-point opportunities against him (51%). Despite that, he has been bagelled just once in his last ten matches. Overall, his numbers are broadly similar to Šik's, and there is no obvious favourite here.
Match Results: Clement Tabur
Key factors
- Both players average more than 19 games per match.
- Both have won 5 of their last 10 matches, suggesting an even level.
- Their sets and games statistics are closely matched, which increases the likelihood of a competitive contest.
- In recent matches, neither player has often lost without winning a set, reducing the risk of a quick, one-sided victory.
- With no clear favourite on current form or ranking, the chances of an extended match are higher.
Expected scenario
Based on the likelihood of a third set and the absence of clear dominance from either player, this looks set to be a closely contested match with plenty of games. A competitive encounter rather than a quick two-set finish seems the more probable outcome.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Both players are showing similar form and key performance metrics - neither holds a clear edge on serve or break-point conversion. Their average game counts are high even in straight-sets results, and a third set is far from unlikely. Our pick is Total Games - Over 21.5.
