Command Analysis

Shuai Zhang

Zhang Shuai is close to ending her career in singles. The 35-year-old tennis player has played only five matches on tour since the beginning of the year and has lost all of them, and has won only two sets. It is clear that the Chinese tennis player is now betting on doubles. Her last singles match was at Wimbledon, where she lost to Kasatkina (3-6, 0-6) without a chance at the start.

Leylah Fernandez

Fernandez is having a good season, is ranked 25th in the world and is aiming for a place in the top 20. The Canadian tennis player played at the Olympics last week, where she managed to get to the 1/8 finals. On the way to a possible medal, she was stopped by Kerber (4-6, 3-6). Leila played twice at the home tournament in Toronto and did not get past the second round.

Zhang Shuai hasn't shown anything in singles for a long time. It's worth noting that she's won sets twice this year. It's unlikely that the Chinese tennis player will be able to win the match today, but bookmakers are giving Fernandez too much of a handicap. The Canadian isn't always stable enough to pull off such total routs.
