Command Analysis
Rebecca Sramkova
SlovakiaCurrent form
Shramkova played only two official matches in preparation for the Australian Open. In Brisbane, she lost to Avanesyan in the first round, and in Hobart, she was forced to put her racket away at the start after a confrontation with Kessler. Rebecca won her first victory of the season in Melbourne, beating Katie Wolynets in three sets (3-6, 6-2, 6-2).
Professional qualities
Rebecca is distinguished by her versatility, there are no special sophistications in her game, but at the same time she can work steadily on the back line, hit powerfully with a forehand, and come to the net at the right moment. Of course, Shramkova does not reach the level of top tennis players, but she is a solid middling player on the tour.
Current indicators in the tour
Shramkova played strongly last season and now occupies a high 49th place in the world ranking. It should be noted that before this year, she played in the Australian Open five times and never overcame the first round barrier, so she can already put the intermediate result in Melbourne in 2025 to her credit.

- In three matches involving the Slovak tennis player, no more than nine games were played in the first set

In the United Cup team competition, the Polish tennis player won four matches, losing only in the decisive game to Cori Gauff (4-6, 4-6). In Melbourne, Iga, largely due to her class and numerous mistakes by her opponent, defeated Siniakova (6-3, 6-4) at the start.
