Paire B. - Isner J.
World number 30 versus the world number 15. Isner has been playing well off late, winning Newport, before having a meltdown in Miami. Paire on the other hand, hasn't played much since Wimbledon. He did lose in the first round of Hamburg, though.
Looking at the data, again from tennisprediction, this time filtered by hard court and for 2nd round to quarter-finals over the past year, we have:
So we can see that Isner has been a reliable favorite and Paire a reliable outsider. Given the home advantage and the fact that Isner does well on the hard courts with his serve, i'm going with a win for him today. The odds are a little low at 1.30, but i think they're fair.
Pick: Isner @ 1.30
