Keys To The Match

Kazakhstan Kazakhstan

E. Rybakina

  • Use powerful serves wide and into the body to create free points and limit return options

  • Attack short balls immediately with deep forehands to finish points before rallies extend

  • Stay confident after breaking serve - history shows strong ability to close out sets with early leads

Poland Poland

I. Swiatek

  • Move forward on short balls to finish at net where success rate is consistently high

  • Work heavy topspin forehands to the backhand side to force defensive stretches and errors

  • Stay patient in longer rallies - fitness and depth from behind the baseline can wear down aggressive patterns
