Saturday's Hamburg semifinal pits Anna Bondar against Elina Avanesyan on clay. Anna Bondar has won 5 of the last 10. Elina Avanesyan has won 6 of the last 10.
They have split their 2 previous meetings evenly at 1-1. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Avanesyan — worth more than the overall number this week.
Bondar's 64.5% behind the first serve (against 57.4% for Avanesyan) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Bondar comes in off a compressed schedule. Anything other than a Bondar win would rank among the bigger surprises of the week.
