A spot in the next round is at stake on Thursday, when Alina Charaeva goes up against Anna Bondar in the Seoul round of 16. Anna Bondar comes in at 5 wins from the last ten. Alina Charaeva is 6-4 across recent matches.

This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.

Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. Little separates them; Bondar gets the nod on the finest of margins.
