Command Analysis

Karolina Pliskova

Back in June, Pliskova made her mark in the final of the grass tennis tournament in Nottingham, after which she was unable to demonstrate anything on the tour. In the last four tournaments, the Czech tennis player won only one match. After switching to hard, she played in Washington, where she was defeated by Wang Yafan in her first match (7-5, 3-6, 0-6), and in Toronto, where she made it to the second round, but failed to cope with Pegula (5-7, 4-6).

Viktoriya Tomova

Tomova has had several successful tournaments since the beginning of the year and is now in the top 50 of the world rankings. At the last competitions, the Bulgarian tennis player was not stable. For example, in Prague she had a quarterfinal, and at the Olympic Games she failed to cope with Navarro in the second round (7-6, 4-6, 1-6). Last week, Victoria unsuccessfully switched to hard in Toronto – a defeat in the first round from Uchijima (6-7, 2-6).
