My pick: Neel / Olmos to advance · locked 2026-07-07 02:30 UTCPrediction
Two unseeded pairs who have spent the week ending other people's tournaments. Neel and Olmos beat the No. 15 seeds and then the No. 3 seeds, both from a set down. Jiang and Xu answered with the No. 11 seeds and the No. 7 seeds, also fighting out of trouble each time. There is no form line to separate them and no seed to lean on — so I'll take the pair that beat the higher seed to get here. Neel and Olmos, by a whisker, on the strength of that win over the No. 3s.
The case for Neel / Olmos
52% to winNeel and Olmos own the best win in this quarter — a comeback over the No. 3 seeds Danilina and Krunić — and they've now twice recovered from a lost first set, which is the temperament a deep run in a big draw demands.
The case for Jiang / Xu
48% to winJiang and Xu have been just as ruthless with the seeds, ousting the No. 11 and No. 7 pairs, and in Xu they have one of the most experienced doubles players left in the event to steady the biggest points.
Both cases written 2026-07-07, before the first ball — frozen into the record exactly as written, whatever the result. The percentages are mine, quoted to a decimal because false precision is funnier — and tennis has no draw to hide the rounding in.
