Alex De Minaur and Mariano Navone meet in the round of 32 at Beijing on Thursday. Alex De Minaur brings a 3-match winning streak into this one, 7-3 across the last ten. Mariano Navone has won 5 of the last 10.

Minaur's 69% behind the first serve (against 62.6% for Navone) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Minaur should have enough here, though Navone has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
