Command Analysis
In year 2021 Yulia Putintseva had three successful tournaments. In the beginning of the year she reached the round of 16 at Abu-Dhabi tournament. Then she reached the third round at Australian Open. Kazakh player also reached the quarter-final on clay tournament at Charleston.
After a performance in America Putintseva participated only in one tournament, at Madrid. At the Spain capital Yulia was beaten in the first round by Johanna Konta (4:6, 2:6).
17-year old Cori Gauff also had three successful tournaments this season. She reached the semi-finals at Adelaide and also reached the quarter-finals at Dubai and at Charleston.
In the previous week Gauf lost to Karolina Pliskova in the first round (7:5, 3:6, 2:6). Throughout the season, young American player just couldn't gain stability in her performances. She can record a sensional win over a higher-ranked opponent, but then can lose as a bookmakers' favourite.
