Ilya Ivashka and Marat Sharipov meet in the round of 32 at Jinan on Wednesday. Marat Sharipov has won 8 of the last 10. Ilya Ivashka has won 5 in a row and 8 of the last 10 overall.

Sharipov's 76.8% behind the first serve (against 69.6% for Ivashka) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. This one is close to a coin flip, and the lean toward Sharipov is exactly that — a lean.
