A spot in the next round is at stake on Wednesday, when Aleksandar Vukic goes up against Hayato Matsuoka in the Jinan round of 32. Aleksandar Vukic is searching for form, having lost 4 in a row (6 of the last 10). Hayato Matsuoka has dropped 3 straight and sits at 6-4 over the last ten.

Vukic's 73.1% behind the first serve (against 69.4% for Matsuoka) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Little separates them; Vukic gets the nod on the finest of margins.
