Mili Poljicak and Sho Shimabukuro meet in the round of 32 at Taipei on Tuesday. Sho Shimabukuro has won 5 of the last 10. Mili Poljicak limps in on a 3-match losing skid, just 3 wins in 10.

There's a wide gap in our ratings on hard, and our number follows from it. The edge belongs to Shimabukuro — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
