Elvina Kalieva is going through a difficult spell - just 4 wins from her last 10 matches. Over that period she has won only 45% of games and 40% of sets, and has been bagelled four times, pointing to difficulties picking up games against competitive opponents. Despite a reasonable first-serve percentage (64%) and a solid service-game hold rate (68%), the inconsistency shows both in her results and in the underlying numbers: one bagel win against four such defeats.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Elvina Kalieva's poor form is reflected not only in the number of defeats but also in the high number of games lost to love.

The main prediction rests on better current form allowing the Chinese player to get the better of her opponent. The pick is Yexin Ma to Win.
