Atp 250 Houston Day 3

Etcheverry T. vs. Mmoh M.
Etcheverry has made a strong comeback, playing impressively against Galan and quickly wrapping up the match, just as Mmoh did, albeit against a player not particularly accustomed to this surface. Today, Etcheverry starts as a clear favorite in my opinion, but attention should be paid to the American, who is still a tough opponent.

Shelton B. vs. Nakashima B.
Here we have a similar scenario as before. Nakashima is very comfortable on this surface due to the trajectories he utilizes. However, unlike the previously analyzed match, Shelton is much stronger than his opponent and could come out on top in the long run. This match will likely be one where we might see a tie-break, and the service will make a significant difference. Both players' aggression in response should be noted.

Giron M. vs. Darderi L.
Here, we are facing two players who are very strong on this surface. Both have delivered notable performances and will surely create a spectacular match. Given that both are very adept in response, and considering the match's start time, I believe this match will be decided in response. I predict a third set with the Italian prevailing, perhaps in a comeback.
