Clara Burel and Oleksandra Oliynykova meet in the quarterfinal at Iasi on Friday. Oleksandra Oliynykova has won 6 of the last 10. Clara Burel comes in at 4 wins from the last ten.

There is no history here: this is their first tour-level meeting.

On paper it's close: comparable ratings, comparable serve numbers, small margins everywhere. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Oliynykova is exactly that — a lean.
