Despite the slightly less stifling heat today (28 instead of 32) and a good risk of rain, does the Spaniard still have a chance of winning this match?

Honestly, it's hot. Even though they're scheduled for nights, I'm expecting heavy, stifling conditions. RBA has already suffered from the heat against Norrie. I'm much more physically afraid for him than for Ben, who had an easy match, a day off, night matches, and who's 22 years old. And then, above all, he has this ability to make the point in one or two racket strokes that RBA doesn't have. What's more, RBA really struggled on the return against Norrie's left-handed outside serve. If we add to that Ben's power, who lets his shots go a little more confidently here, I think we have the perfect cocktail. I can't imagine a Shelton at more than 1.15 here...
