Command Analysis

Donna Vekic

Current form
Vekic was stronger than Diana Schneider in the third round of the Australian Open (7-6, 6-7, 7-5). Donna served ten aces, converted six break points and lost five games on her serve in the match against the Russian. Earlier in the tournament, the Croatian beat Harriet Dart and Diana Parry.
Professional qualities
Vekic is comfortable on fast surfaces, where her aggressive style and speed are her greatest assets. She is confident with both her forehand and backhand, and is not afraid to come to the net to finish a rally. However, in tournaments where a good return of serve is required, she struggles because she lacks the power to serve effectively against strong receivers.
Current indicators in the tour
Vekic is ranked 19th in the world. During her career, the Croatian has won ten trophies, four of which are WTA titles. She won her last title in 2023, winning the Monterrey tournament, which was held on open hard court.
Interesting facts for betting
6 of Vekic last 10 matches against Russians have been aerial.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova

Current form
Pavlyuchenkova advanced to the fourth round of the Australian Open thanks to a win over Laura Siegemund (6-1, 6-2). Anastasia served one ace, converted four break points and did not lose a single game on her serve. Earlier, the Russian had beaten Anastasia Potapova and Yue Yuan in the tournament grid.
Professional qualities
Pavlyuchenkova also prefers an aggressive game, with the forehand being a key shot. She often wins with this shot, but unlike some other players, Anastasia does not often come to the net, preferring to stay on the baseline. In recent years, the Russian has had problems with double faults, and although she does not hit aces as often, her power on the court remains a serious weapon.
Current indicators in the tour
Pavlyuchenkova is ranked 32nd in the world. Anastasia has won 17 trophies in her career, 12 of which are WTA categories. She won her last title in 2018 on the clay courts of Strasbourg.
Interesting facts for betting
Pavlyuchenkova has reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open three times in her career.
