Match Predictions

The number represents how many games the underdog is expected to win. So, a "6" would anticipate a score like 6-3, 6-3 or 6-2, 6-4. The underdog needs to win at least that many games to cover, the favorite needs to keep their opponent below that number to cover. Note that matches through the round of 16 are all two sets with a tiebreaker played instead of a third set when needed. This tiebreaker counts as 1 game.
