A spot in the next round is at stake on Thursday, when Elena Gabriela Ruse goes up against Magda Linette in the Cincinnati first round. Magda Linette is 5-5 across recent matches. Elena Gabriela Ruse comes in at 5 wins from the last ten.

Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Linette is exactly that — a lean.
