Command Analysis
Barbora Krejcikova's main highlight of 2021 season is the final of hard surface tournament in Dubai. Czech player hasn't achieved such a success on clay. Her best result on that surface was round of 16 at Rome tournament.
Barbora played two matches at Strasbourg. In the first round her opponent, Oceane Dodin, retired from the match. After that, Krejcikova defeated Caroline Garcia in three sets (3:6, 6:2, 6:1). Czech player had a slow start, but she improved during the match, started to play more aggresively and secured a positive result.
Ekaterina Alexandrova is having a turbulent 2021 season. She had successful tournaments at Melbourne and Stuttgart, but she also had some disastrous performances. In the beginning of May, out of three tournaments at Lyon, Dubai and St. Petesburg Russian player won only one match.
Ekaterina had a good start at Strasbourg, but her opponents were not that strong. Davis is not at her optimal form right now (6:1, 7:5) and Burel just doesn't have enough experience to compete against Alexandrova (6:3, 6:4).
