Thursday's Samsun round of 16 pits Bianca Andreescu against Mariam Bolkvadze on hard. Bianca Andreescu is 3-7 across recent matches. Mariam Bolkvadze has won 6 of the last 10.
Andreescu's 63.8% behind the first serve (against 57.2% for Bolkvadze) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Bolkvadze comes in off a compressed schedule. The edge belongs to Andreescu — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
