Head-to-head statistics Xin Yu - Vandewinkel
Wang Xin Yu Player Overview
Wang Xinyu comes into the tournament after a difficult stretch - just 5 wins in her last 10 matches, and over her last three meetings she has only beaten Julieta Pareja, losing to Ludmila Samsonova and Daria Kasatkina. She frequently runs into trouble in the second set: in most of her losses, her opponents' advantage grows after the first set. Wang Xinyu wins around 70% of service games, but her set-winning percentage is just 45%. Double faults remain a notable risk factor, and her total games won does not exceed half of the possible maximum per match. The statistics point to inconsistency and frequent defeats without a fight through to the deciding set.

Expected scenario
