Tuesday's Hamburg round of 32 pits Alina Charaeva against Sara Sorribes Tormo on clay. Alina Charaeva comes in at 6 wins from the last ten. Sara Sorribes Tormo has dropped 3 straight and sits at 4-6 over the last ten.
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
Charaeva's 65.3% behind the first serve (against 55.7% for Tormo) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Little separates them; Charaeva gets the nod on the finest of margins.
