Diana Yastremska

The Ukrainian tennis player is still good this season, although there are many aspects to work on. In Linza, the athlete passed the Italian Lucius Brozetti – 7: 6, 7: 5, and then Croat Antony Ruzhych – 7: 5, 6: 1. The rivals were not the most famous, although it is also difficult to call them.

Only 53-54% of the first submission in the two matches mentioned, in each game, Yastremskaya made 7 double mistakes, which also many. In other words, the tennis player often fights herself, but sakari can punish for mistakes.

Psychology is very important, victories clearly added confidence by Ukrainians. However, the current level of the game to win the Greek may not be enough. Yastremskaya has six victories in nine meetings, the key to success in such a game will be peace and stability.

The Greek athlete does not need to be present, who has been confidently confident in the top 10.

This season, Sakari started with two defeats on the United Cup for the national team.

The athlete and Aus Open failed, where she lost in the first round of the Columbus Maria Osorio – 4: 6, 7: 6, 4: 6. Thanks to the high sowing, Maria missed the first circle in the Linza, and in the second confidently beat the Bulgarian Victoria Tomov 6: 3, 6: 2. In the starting match of the tournament, Sakari played brilliantly on her serving, preventing the rival to make a single break. 71% was the first feed, and 63% of the won balls on the second feed.

It is difficult to determine the shape of the sakari, because the rival did not resist. But Yastremskaya can already be a serious check. In the current season, the tennis player won only three matches of eight, which is extremely small for the athlete of this level.

Sakcari are not yet capable of showing its best tennis, but it is known for its character and inaccuracy, such qualities can compensate for the disadvantages in technology.

The athletes played only once, the meeting took place last year, at the Miami tournament. The aforementioned meeting took place in a fierce struggle and ended with the victory of Sakari – 7: 5, 6: 4.

Forecast

In this pair, bookmakers prefer more known and named sakari, it can be put with a factor of 1.63, and on the Ukrainian – 2.35. Yastremskaya looks at least worse than the future rival and has a good chance of winning. I expect to see an interesting struggle, I put more than 20.5 games at a factor of 1.70.
