Polina Kudermetova

Current form
Polina Kudremetova has no special achievements in more or less prestigious tournaments, reaching the second round in Seoul can be considered a decent achievement. It is worth noting that she failed to pass the qualification, but as a lucky loser she got into the main draw, where among her opponents was far from the most formidable Hong. Polina won that match in two hard-fought sets (7-5, 6-4).
Professional qualities
Polina tries to play attacking tennis. On clay it is a bit easier for her, considering that the ball bounces not very fast. On fast surfaces she often simply does not have time to prepare her shots, and on the back line in long rallies she does not feel too comfortable.

Kudermetova has good statistics for the season – 39 wins and 27 losses. However, it should be taken into account that she has mainly achieved success either in the most prestigious tournaments or in the qualifications.
