Command Analysis

Maria Carle

Current form
Carle is in her third week of play on South American clay. In Colin she had the final, and in Buenos Aires she managed to get to the semifinals. At the start in Florianopolis, Maria Lourdes had no difficulties in the confrontation with Tkacheva (6-1, 6-0).
Professional qualities
The Argentine tennis player relies on stable actions on the back line in her game, and works well on the return. However, she has a weak serve, and you can often see many double faults.

Kristina Mladenovic

Current form
Mladenovic, like her upcoming opponent, is currently actively performing on South American clay, but has not achieved much success and has not made it past the second round. At the current tournament, Kristina won Arango with great difficulty in the first round, and did not demonstrate a more or less stable game (7-6, 6-7, 6-1).
Professional qualities
At the moment, Mladenovic is not demonstrating anything outstanding on the court, her best times are far in the past. You can see an uncertain game on the back line, a huge number of unforced errors. The serve does not always help Kristina on the not very fast South American clay.
Current indicators in the tour
Mladenovic occupies a modest 206th place in the world rankings, plays mainly in less prestigious tournaments, but has not achieved much success. Thus, on clay since the beginning of the year, the former tenth racket of the world has played 28 matches, in which she has won only 11 victories.
Interesting facts for betting
- Three of Mladenovic last four matches have gone to tiebreaks
- Only one of the Frenchwoman previous five matches went to three sets.
