A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Ann Li goes up against Ekaterina Alexandrova in the Tokyo round of 32. Ann Li has won 7 of the last 10. Ekaterina Alexandrova has won 6 of the last 10.

On paper it's close: comparable ratings, comparable serve numbers, small margins everywhere. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Li fractionally more likely to land the big points.
