Command Analysis
Elena Rybakina
KazakhstanCurrent form
Rybakina confidently started the new season, winning two victories in the group stage of the United Cup against serious opponents - she beat Jessica Maneiro and Maria Sakkari. The representative of Kazakhstan demonstrated a stable game and good physical tone.
Professional qualities
Rybakina struggled with injuries last season, but even that didn't stop her from finishing the year among the leaders in aces. Elena, who is 184 cm tall, took second place in the percentage of games won on serve among tennis players with more than 50 matches played. The representative of Kazakhstan stands out with powerful flat smashes from both sides, which allows her to dictate the tempo and confidently finish rallies.

Laura Siegemund
GermanyCurrent form
Siegemund showed an inconsistent game in the group stage of the United Cup. A victory over Beatriz Haddad Maia was followed by an unexpected defeat to Gao Xinyu. In the confrontation with the Chinese, Laura made a lot of errors on her serve, which cost her several important games.
Professional qualities
Siegemund is a player whose game is built on intelligence and tactics rather than physical strength. At 168 cm tall, she does not boast a strong serve, but she compensates for this with a reliable backhand and an excellent feel for the ball. The German is a master of drop shots and, thanks to her doubles experience, often comes to the net, adding variety to her game.

Siegemund is ranked 80th in the world. On open hard courts last season, the German had 16 wins and 11 losses. Her best result last year was reaching the final at the tournament in Hua Hin.
