A spot in the next round is at stake on Tuesday, when Katarzyna Kawa goes up against Paula Badosa in the Hamburg round of 32. Paula Badosa is rolling — 9 straight wins, 9 of 10 in recent play. Katarzyna Kawa has won 6 of the last 10.
There is no history here: this is their first tour-level meeting.
Badosa's 65.2% behind the first serve (against 57.6% for Kawa) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. The edge belongs to Badosa — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
