A spot in the next round is at stake on Friday, when Katerina Siniakova goes up against Maria Timofeeva in the Cincinnati first round. Katerina Siniakova comes in at 4 wins from the last ten. Maria Timofeeva has won 7 of the last 10.

Katerina Siniakova simply rates much higher on hard, and our number follows from it. Siniakova should have enough here, though Timofeeva has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
