Alina Charaeva and Sinja Kraus: Alina Charaeva leads 1–0 across 1 recorded meeting.
Break-point volume beat break-point efficiency at the MSC Hamburg Ladies Open. Sinja Kraus converted a near-flawless 9 of 10 break chances while Alina Charaeva needed 22 to take her nine, yet the sheer volume of those chances, plus an 8-1 ace edge, tipped a match that finished 120 points apiece. Three times the No. 8 seed nosed ahead by a break in the decider and three times Charaeva pulled it back, twice immediately — in game 2 for 1-1 and in game 8 for 4-4. Kraus, a 60 percent favorite with the market, went 3 hours, 21 minutes without a double fault and still exits, as the WTA No. 118 claims a quarterfinal place.
