The PFSN Simulator has made Paul the favorite in the upcoming match, giving the American a 63% win probability. Break-point conversion will be key in the contest, as Paul has not been able to defend any break points, while Etcheverry has a poor break-point conversion.
However, as the better hard-court player with the crowd behind him, Paul should get it done and advance to his first Miami quarterfinal.
Pick: Paul to win in straight sets.
