A spot in the next round is at stake on Saturday, when Mayar Sherif goes up against Tamara Korpatsch in the Hamburg semifinal. Mayar Sherif is rolling — 10 straight wins, 10 of 10 in recent play. Tamara Korpatsch comes in at 5 wins from the last ten.

The ledger favors Tamara Korpatsch, 1-0 across their 1 meetings with Mayar Sherif. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Korpatsch — worth more than the overall number this week.

Neither the serve numbers nor the ratings separate these two by much, which is why our number stays close to even. Sherif should have enough here, though Korpatsch has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
