When DF queen steps onto the court, we cannot miss this opportunity to try to catch an ace. The line is a bit unstable as there is a chance for an easy and quick match of two sets, which would of course not help the ace. But I believe that even under these conditions, Coco could still force DF to her limits. The last matches according to today's line would be at light speed, as there is a consistent trend of achieving high numbers next to her name on the scoreboard. Sometimes even reaching 20. Well, a leader is a leader, let's wait and see for her leadership tonight.
ASIA EASL final where Taiwan and Japanese teams meet. Taiwan has to include two very tall players for an Asian tournament (211, 216 and 207) which gives them a lot of handicaps against their opponents. In the semifinals, they defeated another Japanese team with Lithuanian accents, Alvark, who only played on one side and only managed to score over 50% with a shot from Peru. Brex will have to be better prepared, but I believe they will still have problems. This is the second consecutive Pilots final in this tournament, so I think they deserve to win and have the options to achieve it.
It seems to me that H2H 3:0 in favor of Cirstea is already too much, although they have only played a few matches on clay. To me, their chances are so similar that I don't see any significant difference. Cirstea is already a 35-year-old veteran, while Mertens is only 30 and has a five-year age gap. This is Mertens's second match in the tournament, while it is Cirstea's third, plus their last match with Noskova was a difficult three-set match, and they have added motivation.
Muchova Karolina is a significantly more stable and technical player. Boulter Katie tends to make too many unforced errors and is a bit inconsistent. I would say that she is a favorable opponent for Muchova, as the Czech player knows when and how to make tactical moves.
Youthful energy + rising form in this match gives value to Eala's side. Both serve not just impressively, maybe even better than the Polish, but in rallies Eala is definitely superior, the Polish did well with Swiatek..
The morning rotation remains very small. After the peak season of Peru, it will be difficult and motivation will be needed. We will have to take a lot of minutes for the children who are also waiting for the playoffs. I have no doubt that Canak will have a better game plan than the opponents of the BCL. I think the coefficient for Lietkabelis is too high in this situation.
