Command Analysis
Anna Blinkova
Russian FederationCurrent form
Blinkova has fond memories of Strasbourg, as she was able to reach the finals here in 2023. This time, Anna is also showing herself well on the local courts, because she not only overcame the qualification, but also passed Magdalena Freh in the first round, although she was not the favorite among the bookmakers in that meeting (6-3, 7-5).
Professional qualities
Anna plays in a rather straightforward manner, relying on strong carnal strokes and a powerful first serve. She often lacks variety in the game, non-standard tactical moves. On the other hand, in matches against opponents comparable in class, her approach works well.
