On Wednesday, there's lots of action taking place in Cincinnati, where many hopeful players will be hoping to book a place in the second round. Youngster Trevor Svajda is one of those hopefuls, as is Michael Zheng. This is an interesting clash between two American players who are both currently ranked outside of the top 100.
Looking at the early lines, we can see that Michael Zheng is expected to succeed by the early market. In fact, based on the odds, we can say that Zheng is expected to win quite comfortably. However, this may not be as easy for the current world number 113 as the odds suggest. Trevor Svajda, who is the younger brother of world number 87 Zachary Svajda, is an improving player, and his recent efforts against those ranked above him tell us that he can definitely get more competitive than the early lines may have us believe.

Our Trevor Svajda vs Michael Zheng Prediction
The rankings tell us that Michael Zheng should win this match, but sometimes, the rankings do not paint the clearest picture, especially when it comes to young and improving players. Trevor Svajda is both young and improving, and the 20-year-old has shown recently that he's likely a much more talented competitor than his current rank suggests.
The younger brother of Zachary Svajda very rarely loses in straight sets on this surface, and after he defeated a top-100 player to reach this stage, he looks a solid bet to, at the very least, avoid a straight-set defeat against a player whose record in matches of this nature is far from convincing.
Our Trevor Svajda vs Michael Zheng Pick: Trevor Svajda +1.5 Set Handicap.
