Kalieva - Gibson

Even though at 23 years old, Sawangkaew Mananchaya from Thailand is still progressing, everything with her is at the ITF level, with two ITF wins this year and one reaching the semifinals, but all of that has been achieved either in Thailand or India, so there's no need to be too impressed with her progress. She rarely ventures into deeper waters, similar to how I am a bit like a man 😁 She stands out with her technical game, but she is also short in stature, so I don't think that will play a role here.
Marina Stakusic, 21 years old from Canada, plays here almost as if she's at home. In the first round, she defeated someone with a similar profile, maybe even more technical, Golubic. The downside is that she had health issues this year and had to withdraw in the first round of AO against Hon. Either way, for the second round, I think she should have enough energy.
