Wednesday's Samsun round of 32 pits Anna Blinkova against Elena Pridankina on hard. Anna Blinkova has won 7 of the last 10. Elena Pridankina limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 3 wins in 10.

Blinkova's 61.5% behind the first serve (against 57.1% for Pridankina) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Blinkova should have enough here, though Pridankina has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
