Bianca Andreescu and Lucrezia Stefanini meet in the quarterfinal at Rovereto on Friday. Bianca Andreescu has won 5 of the last 10. Lucrezia Stefanini is 7-3 across recent matches.

The serve is where this match separates: Andreescu has been winning 63.5% of first-serve points to Stefanini's 55.3%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. Andreescu comes in off a compressed schedule. The edge belongs to Andreescu — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
