Command Analysis

Ana Konjuh

A former World No. 20 Ana Konjuh is trying to come back on tour after a number of surgeries on her hand. Overall, it is safe to say that her comeback is successful. She managed to reach the round of 16 at a prestigious Miami tournament, then she played in the final of Belgrade tournament and climbed to 116th position in the rankings.

In San Jose Konjuh had to start from qualification and then beat Bouzkova (7:5, 3:6, 7:5) and Riske (6:1, 6:4) in the main draw. We should mention that Croatian player have already repeated her best result at San Jose tournament - she reached the quarter-final of that competition in 2017.

Shuai Zhang

An experienced 32-year old Zhang Shuai completely failed the start of the season. Chinese player recorded her first victory in 2021 only at Strasbourg tournament, which was played in May. But after that Chinese player gained momentum and reached the final of grass tournament in Nottingham, then she reached the semi-final of clay tournament in Palermo.

Zhang Shuai was not successful at San Jose before. On three most recent Californian tournaments she was beaten in the first round. But in 2021 she managed to reach the quarter-final after victories over Raducanu (6:3, 6:2) and Keys (7:5, 7:6).
