Evgeniy Ilyukhin is a very middling player — 24-26 dating back to April 20. About as run of the mill as it gets.

Denis Sayanov is worse on paper at just 7-9, but you have to dig a little deeper than that.

Sayanov just started playing on the circuit on the 26th and boy, oh boy, did he get off to a rocky start. Seven straight losses!

Not. Good.

Since then, he's found his groove, winning seven of his past nine. This includes two 3-0 straight set victories against Ilyukhin.

Both players will have one match before this to warm up — Sayanov at 4, Ilyukhin at 4:30.

I imagine the toss-up odds are based on their 2-2 H2H record, but considering Sayanov's recent turnaround, I would peg him as the favorite.

PICK: Denis Sayanov -116
