Wednesday's Wuning 3 (China) round of 16 pits Marat Sharipov against Omar Jasika on hard. Marat Sharipov is 8-2 across recent matches. Omar Jasika is searching for form, having lost 2 in a row (4 of the last 10).
The serve is where this match separates: Sharipov has been winning 76.8% of first-serve points to Jasika's 64.3%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. Jasika comes in off a compressed schedule. If Sharipov plays anywhere close to a normal level, this ends in relatively comfortable fashion.
