Command Analysis
Before the start of Lausanne tournament Natalia Vikhlyantseva had a string of five defeats on tour. Overall, Russian player had only two wins in eleven matches before that competition.
A bad run of results was interrupted in the match against Zavatska (4:6, 6:4, 6:0). In first two sets players were not looking confident while serving and made many unforced errors. In the third set Ukrainian player was too exhausted to fight against Natalia.
2021 is a special season for Jasmine Paolini. Italian player won the first WTA title in her career. It happened in the middle of June at Bol, Croatia. In the final match Paolini beat Rus (6:2, 7:6).

But despite that, Italian player managed to end her string of losses at Lausanne, beating Grammatikopoulou in a difficult match (6:3, 4:6, 7:5).
