Command Analysis
Claire Liu is on her way to the Top-100 of WTA rankings, but currently she is on the 108th position. In the current season Claire is pretty successful on ITF tournaments, she won two titles.
In the first round of San Jose tournament Liu managed to beat Yastremska, who is in a bad form. American player needed three sets to record a victory (6:3, 4:6, 6:4).
Elena Rybakina will start the San Jose tournament since the second round. Kazakhstan representative is coming to USA after a questionable performance at the Olympic Games. Elena was very close to the final, but she was beaten by Bencic in three sets (6:7, 6:3, 4:6). In the match for a bronze medal Rybakina was ahead, but failed to win the second set over Svitolina and after that Elina just couldn't let the victory slip away (6:1, 6:7, 4:6).
