A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Alex Hernandez goes up against Gabi Adrian Boitan in the Istanbul round of 32. Gabi Adrian Boitan comes in at 5 wins from the last ten. Alex Hernandez is searching for form, having lost 7 in a row (2 of the last 10).

The serve is where this match separates: Boitan has been winning 69.7% of first-serve points to Hernandez's 63.7%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. The edge belongs to Boitan — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
