Command Analysis

Elina Avanesyan

Current form
Avanesyan has not played on clay this season yet. The last time Elina went on the court in Miami was back in March. Then she was able to overcome the barrier of the first round, after which she lost in the second round to Madison Keys (3-6, 3-6). In Madrid, the Armenian representative has competed twice in her career and has never passed the first round in the main draw.
Professional qualities
Elina is more inclined to play on the back line, to long draws. At the same time, she has a decent first serve in her arsenal, which is very effective even on the ground. At the reception, she often takes unnecessary risks, which leads to frequent mistakes.

This year, Avanesyan played 20 matches in the round, in which she won 11 and suffered 9 defeats. Elina currently holds a high 36th place in the world ranking, which is her best career achievement.

In Charleston, the American defeated Kocharetto in the first round (6-4, 6-1), after which she could not cope with Keys, although she imposed a tight fight on her (3-6, 6-7). In Madrid, Caroline faces a difficult task – she needs to defend the ranking points for last year's third round.
