Prior to this, the tournament in Ukrainka had catastrophic indicators in the current season, 8 defeats in 9 confrontations. Even reaching the main grid of such a representative tournament can already be considered a little success.

In Miami Starodubtsev began with a qualification, where she beat the American Varvara Lepchenko – 5: 7, 6: 1, 6: 1. Julia was able to take revenge from the experienced German Tatiana Maria for a recent defeat, beating the rival in the qualification finale – 6: 4, 6: 3. The position at the beginning of the second hundred does not look convincing, the main thing here is to progress, Ukrainians 25 years old, you can still achieve more in this sport.

In this tournament, Starodubtsev spent different matches when talking about a serving. In the first game, only 50% of the goals came to the court from the first time, in the second meeting this figure increased to 76%. The popularity of the rival can press a little, but on the other hand, winning in such a match, a unique opportunity to declare yourself.

The Japanese tennis player does not need special presentation, she is the ex-first racket of the world and the winner of four helmets, and they were all on Hardy. Although the athlete plays under the banner of Japan, she has long lived in the United States, so she will feel at home at home.

The Osaka season began optimistic, it reached the final of the tournament in Auckland, won the first set in Clara Tauson, then withdrew from the match. At the open US Championship, the athlete reached the third circle, where she lost the first batch on Tai Breika Belindi Bencic, after which she again refused to continue the fight.

Naomi spent her latest match on Indian-Vells, where she gave way to the most dangerous Columbian Osorio Serrano-4: 6, 4: 6 in the first game. Japanese cannot show its maximum because of health problems. What to say, if two lost matches of three this season were because the tennis player could not complete the meeting.

For most fans, this match will be more interesting because of Osaka, but we believe and cheer for Julia.

Yes, the Ukrainian is not in the best form, it is considered the big underpag of this couple, however, not everything is perfect in Japanese, intrigue can be present here. The athletes have not intersected before, as Starodubtseva did not play on such a top level.

I take the risk of suggesting that there will be more than 19 games here. Betking Bookmaker estimates the likelihood of such a result with a factor of 1.76.
