Alex Molcan and Karen Khachanov meet in the round of 16 at Beijing on Friday. Karen Khachanov comes in at 5 wins from the last ten. Alex Molcan has won 5 of the last 10.

Khachanov's 72% behind the first serve (against 65.5% for Molcan) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. The edge belongs to Khachanov — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
