Command Analysis

Varvara Lepchenko

Current form

Lepchenko won the first round of the tournament in Limoges against Margot Rouvroy (6-3, 6-7, 6-4). In the confrontation with the Frenchwoman, Varvara hit five aces, converted five break points and lost two games on her serve. For her, this was the fifth victory indoors this season with two losses.

Professional qualities

At 38, Lepchenko no longer has the speed she once had and can't keep up with difficult balls. However, she still demonstrates a high level thanks to her rich experience and her left forehand, which is inconvenient for her opponents. However, the American starting speed and endurance have noticeably decreased. Varvara has shown a good game this year, but the question is how long it will last over the long haul.

Current indicators in the tour

Lepchenko is a former world No. 19. However, the US representative is currently ranked No. 134 in the world. This season, Varvara played in two finals - on clay, she reached the finals in tournaments in Brescia and Rome.

Professional qualities

Blinkova plays aggressive tennis, trying to intensify the rally with every hit. She confidently hits along the line, deep and with transfers, which makes her dangerous for her opponents.
