Dominika Salkova Player Overview
The 22-year-old Czech represents a new wave of Czech tennis. She hits with pace and looks to play aggressively, taking the initiative from the outset. Dominika has won five of her last ten matches but lost her two most recent - to Gabriela Andrea Knutson and Julia Riera. Her game-winning rate is on the lower side: she has won 45% of sets and 48% of games. The main issue is an extremely low hold percentage (32%), which has contributed to frequent bagel sets - five of her last ten matches ended without her winning a set. Her average total games per match is under 20, her first-serve percentage matches her opponent's (63%), and her break-point conversion rate is slightly lower at 45%.

Expected scenario
