Iryna Shymanovich Player Overview
Iryna Shymanovich comes into this match with a mixed run of form - five wins and five losses in her last ten matches. In her most recent official match she lost to Polina Iatcenko, having previously beaten Rebeka Masarova in US Open qualifying. Her matches average 21.6 games, which gives little reason to expect a sharp rise in her individual games total. Shimanovich has suffered three bagel-set defeats in recent matches, and her games-won figures are inconsistent: she holds serve in only around half her service games, and her break-point conversion rate stands at 54%. A high double-fault rate - averaging 7% per match - also affects her scoring output.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Iryna Shymanovich's inconsistent form combines with a strong trend towards a limited game count in nearly all her recent matches against opponents of varying levels.
