Michael Mmoh vs Adam Walton prediction
Michael Mmoh has yet to register a strong result on tour since reaching the quarterfinals in Houston last year. He has a steady all-around game but lacks the killer instinct against higher-ranked opponents. The American will hope to raise his level this week and make a deep run.
Walton, on the contrary, made the most of his opportunity in Miami. He has a chance to find some consistency on tour with a solid run in Houston. The Australian has an ordinary record on clay and will need to grind out strong results this week.
Considering their record on tour, Walton will be a slight favorite to come out on top, but Mmoh has been dependable in Houston. He has reached the quarterfinals of the event twice in the last three years and will be eager to improve. The big-serving American should be able to pass this test in the first round.
Pick: Mmoh to win in straight sets.
