A spot in the next round is at stake on Friday, when Andrey Rublev goes up against Rei Sakamoto in the Shanghai round of 64. Andrey Rublev has won 6 of the last 10. Rei Sakamoto has won 5 of the last 10.

Andrey Rublev simply rates much higher on hard, and our number follows from it. Rublev should have enough here, though Sakamoto has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
