Command Analysis

Maria Carle

Carle has impressive statistics on clay this season – 21 wins in 30 matches. However, almost all of her achievements are connected with performances in not the most prestigious tournaments. On the way to the Olympic Games, the Argentine tennis player lost twice in a row to the Frenchwoman Paquet at competitions in Palermo and Iasi. In Paris, in the first round, she crushed Tatiana Maria, who was completely unprepared for the Olympics (6-0, 6-0).

Cori Gauff

Gauff is among the contenders for a medal in Paris and confidently confirmed this status in the first round. With a score of 6-3, 6-0, the American defeated Ajla Tomljanovic. Some intrigue in that match was only in the opening set, after which Cori completely took the initiative into her own hands. It should be noted that on clay courts this season the second racket of the world has 13 victories in 17 matches.
