Command Analysis
Elina Svitolina
UkraineCurrent form
Svitolina does not perform so often at tournaments this year. Elina immediately played at the Australian Open, where she scored the quarterfinals. Then we saw her in Linz, where she lost sensationally to Blinkova (4-6, 4-6) at the start. It seemed that in Doha she would be eliminated in the first round, because in the game with Vondroushova she lost outright in the opening game with a score of 0-6. However, the Ukrainian tennis player managed to pull herself together, returned to the game and won a difficult victory over Marketa (0-6, 6-2, 7-5).
Professional qualities
Elina has been distinguished by her versatility throughout her career, and can successfully play on any surface. We note her stable actions on the back line and the ability to keep a high tempo when exchanging punches, forcing rivals to make mistakes.
Current indicators in the tour
Since the beginning of the year, Svitolina has played only seven matches in the tour, in which she won five. She is currently ranked 22nd in the ranking.

Jessica Pegula
USACurrent form
Pegula has been playing infrequently since the beginning of the season, and she has not had a stable game. The American immediately made it to the finals in Adelaide, but at the Australian Open she suffered a sensational defeat in the third round from Danilovich (6-7, 1-6). After that setback, Jessica did not play anywhere on the tour. In Doha, she starts immediately from the second round and it is difficult to judge in the forecasts in what form she approached the tournament.
Professional qualities
Jessica does not have outstanding physical characteristics, but at the same time strives to play number one, in an aggressive manner. The American is not very reliable on the back line. Her serve is not the most impressive by the standards of the women's tour.
