Both tennis players got off to a solid start in Washington, winning their matches by an accurate 2-0 score in sets. At the same time, Vekic was very reliable on her serve. We think it is this component of the game that will allow her to pass the not-always-stable Xiyu Wang.
At the moment, there is no noticeable difference in class between the two players, though, which could lead to a long match.
Throughout the season, Donna Vekic has been unstable. She has managed 17 victories and 11 defeats. She can take credit for a grass section with a quarterfinal in Birmingham.
In Washington, Vekic started her campaign with a very convincing win over Mayar Sheriff (6-4, 6-1). Let’s note Donna’s reliable performance on her own serve with 67% of her points won.
Vekic has won five of her last six matches at the WTA-250 level.
Xiyu Wang is trying to establish herself in the top 100 of the world rankings in 2022. She is currently ranked 95th. The best result was achieved at the clay tournament in Valencia. She reached the finals.
In Washington, Xiyu Wang failed to qualify. In the decisive match, she lost to Lщuisa Cрirico (1-6, 6-3, 5-7). However, the organisers of the event gave her an opportunity to play in the main draw, which she took advantage of. In two sets, she defeated Tatjana Maria (6-2, 7-5).
Xiyu Wang has won three of her last five matches on hard court.
In two of Vekic’s last three matches, tie-breaks have been played. We offer to bet on “Tie-Break – Yes” with odds of 3.04.
