Read first
Near-level rankings, diverging form: Charaeva is 10-5 on hard courts since mid-September, Ruzic 5-9 since August, and both have been living in three-set matches.
Charaeva looks the likelier winner, though her habit of dropping the first set should keep it long. Three prices hold up: over 2.5 sets at 2.3, over 23.5 games at 2.2 and Charaeva at 1.73. Ruzic at 2.1 does not.
No outside reporting on either player is available, so the read rests on a 14-match and a 15-match hard-court sample plus one retirement-excluded record — enough to frame the match, not enough to claim more.
