Kamilla Rakhimova vs Marie Bouzkova — Round of 32 — Ningbo Open. Bouzkova won 6-4, 6-4.

Marie Bouzkova reached the Ningbo Open round of 16 by beating qualifier Kamilla Rakhimova in straight sets. Bouzkova came in ranked WTA No. 28, and the betting market had her as a 70 percent favorite against Rakhimova, who was No. 69. The scoreline looks routine, but the match took 2 hours and 4 minutes. Much of that came in an opening set with seven breaks of serve. Bouzkova converted four of her five break points in that set, while Rakhimova converted three of six. Breaks were rarer in the second set, with one each, and Bouzkova again took the set 6-4. Rakhimova's serve gave her more trouble across the match. She got only 44 percent of her first serves in and won 45 percent of the points behind them. Bouzkova served five aces to Rakhimova's none and saved six of the 10 break points she faced.
