Head-to-head statistics Rus - De Stefano
Arantxa Rus Player Overview

She lost her most recent match to Leolia Jeanjean, but had won two consecutive matches before that in qualifying. Her average match length is 23.5 games, reflecting a regular pattern of extended matches. She wins 51% of points overall and takes just over half of all games played (52%).

Match Results: Arantxa Rus
Samira de Stefano Player Overview
Samira De Stefano is in good form, with 8 wins from her last 10 matches and just one defeat in her last seven. In Antalya she came through qualifying comfortably but then lost to Eva Vedder in the first round of the main draw. The average total games in her matches is lower than her opponent's - 17.3 - and a high set-winning percentage (81%) along with a large number of bagel victories point to an ability to close out matches quickly against weaker opponents. That said, her first-serve percentage is notably low at just 50%, and she holds only 15% of her service games, which could be a risk factor against a more experienced opponent.
