Command Analysis

Emma Raducanu

Emma Raducanu needed a long time to gain form after the start of the season. However, she started to show progress after the appointment of Dmytry Tursunov as a new coach. British player reached the quarter-final at Washington. She also recorded easy victories over Serena Williams (6:4, 6:0) and Victoria Azarenka (6:0, 6:2) at Cincinnati. But at the start of Toronto tournament Emma suffered a defeat to Camila Giorgi (6:7, 2:6).

Alize Cornet

Cornet is having an okay season - since the start of the year she recorded 20 victories and suffered the same number of defeats.
