Tuesday's Shanghai round of 32 pits Denis Yevseyev against Petr Bar Biryukov on hard. Petr Bar Biryukov has dropped 2 straight and sits at 2-8 over the last ten. Denis Yevseyev is searching for form, having lost 7 in a row (1 of the last 10).

The serve is where this match separates: Biryukov has been winning 74.4% of first-serve points to Yevseyev's 63.6%, and on hard that gap compounds fast. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Biryukov fractionally more likely to land the big points.
