Sergey Fomin and Tristan Schoolkate meet in the round of 32 at Guangzhou on Tuesday. Tristan Schoolkate limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 5 wins in 10. Sergey Fomin is searching for form, having lost 4 in a row (2 of the last 10).

Schoolkate's 75.2% behind the first serve (against 67.5% for Fomin) means break chances should be scarce in one direction. Anything other than a Schoolkate win would rank among the bigger surprises of the week.
