Command Analysis

Beatriz Haddad Maia

Current form
Haddad Maia is clearly showing a decline in her game. Beatriz is trying, fighting, playing many tournaments, but the results have disappeared. Plus, there are health problems, since she was unable to finish the second round match against Boulter in Toronto. Last week in Cincinnati, the Brazilian tennis player lost in the first round to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, although she put up a tough fight (6-4, 6-7, 3-6).
Professional qualities
Haddad Maia is left-handed, which causes difficulties for some of her opponents. Success is achieved largely due to stable actions on the back line, when the tennis player is in shape. She has a serve in her arsenal that is not the most convenient for receiving.

With each new tournament, Haddad Maia moves away from the top 10, where she was recently. Now she is on the 23rd line in the rating, the statistics of victories and defeats in the tour are negative (+20 -21). On hard we see only nine victories in 20 matches played.

Viktorija Golubic

Current form
Golubic hasn't been very successful on tour this year either. She doesn't qualify for major tournaments directly, last week she played on hard courts in Cary, where she managed to get through two rounds. It seems that the game practice she got helped Victoria confidently overcome two qualifying rounds in Cleveland – victories with an exact score of 2-0 in sets over not the strongest Appleton and Frey.
Professional qualities
The Swiss tennis player is not known for her powerful strokes, and does not have a powerful first serve in her arsenal. You can often see her using short strokes, and she tries to pick up the pace.
