Tuesday's Hamburg round of 32 pits Jule Niemeier against Maria Lourdes Carle on clay. Maria Lourdes Carle comes in at 4 wins from the last ten. Jule Niemeier has won 4 of the last 10.
This is the first career meeting between the two, which means no head-to-head baggage on either side of the net.
Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. Little separates them; Carle gets the nod on the finest of margins.
