Masamichi Imamura and Tristan Schoolkate meet in the round of 32 at Ningbo on Tuesday. Tristan Schoolkate brings a 4-match winning streak into this one, 6-4 across the last ten. Masamichi Imamura limps in on a 3-match losing skid, just 3 wins in 10.

Schoolkate's 75.5% behind the first serve (against 66.8% for Imamura) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Anything other than a Schoolkate win would rank among the bigger surprises of the week.
