Golubic is having a weak season and has shown more or less acceptable results only in less prestigious tournaments. In preparation for the US Open, the experienced Swiss tennis player played in Cleveland, passed the qualification, but in the first round of the main draw, she lost to Haddad Maia in two sets (3-6, 5-7). It should be noted that she suffered her last four defeats in the tour without winning sets.
Professional qualities
Victoria is one of the few on the tour who uses a one-handed backhand in her game. However, it hasn’t worked to its full potential lately, and Golubic isn’t particularly stable on the back line either, her defensive tennis only works in matches against opponents who are inferior in class.

In New York, she has the opportunity to add rating points to her collection, since she did not play in the US Open a year ago.
