Elias Ymer - Abedallah Shelbayh

The Winston-Salem tournament on hard court - strong

The clay court specialist Ignacio Buse rarely plays on hard court during the season and also celebrates in Peru. The Peruvian player, who makes many mistakes on this surface, always avoids tournaments on hard court, but when there is no other option and a big check can be won even by reaching the first stage, he arrives. The Australian player who is skilled on hard court is better, and his five-year handicap gives him the necessary experience to win this match. Walton lacks stability, but he is a top ATP tournament player and in my opinion the clear favorite in this match. Walton is currently playing steadily on hard court, and although his form is not the best, it can't be said that Buse's form is good at all, so Peru must even celebrate being the favorite. The odds for this match, given the circumstances, are worth considering.

Last week, Walton proved his superiority over Buse with a 6-4 6-3 victory in their only previous meeting in another USA tournament, and in this tournament the Australian managed to play and defeat the Netherlands. It is very difficult to expect anything from Peru on this court.
