A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Belinda Bencic goes up against Shuai Zhang in the Wuhan round of 64. Belinda Bencic is 7-3 across recent matches. Shuai Zhang comes in at 4 wins from the last ten.

The serve is where this match separates: Bencic has been winning 66.3% of first-serve points to Zhang's 59.7%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. Bencic should have enough here, though Zhang has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
