A spot in the next round is at stake on Monday, when Fiona Ferro goes up against Talia Gibson in the Singapore round of 32. Talia Gibson is searching for form, having lost 3 in a row (3 of the last 10). Fiona Ferro has won 5 in a row and 9 of the last 10 overall.

Hold strength tells the story — 63.9% versus 59.5% on first-serve points in Gibson's favor. A tiebreak or two would surprise nobody, with Gibson fractionally more likely to land the big points.
