A spot in the next round is at stake on Thursday, when Nikola Bartunkova goes up against Tatjana Maria in the US Open round of 64. Nikola Bartunkova comes in at 7 wins from the last ten. Tatjana Maria has won 7 of the last 10.
Bartunkova's 68.5% behind the first serve (against 65.5% for Maria) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Bartunkova comes in off a compressed schedule; Maria comes in off a compressed schedule. Expect resistance, but the match-level math tilts clearly toward Bartunkova.
