Her most recent outings have all ended in losses, including early exits against Daria Snigur, Alana Smith and Lucrezia Stefanini. Her in-match numbers are weak: she has won only 45% of games across those ten matches, and held serve in just 40% of her service games. Her break-point conversion stands at only 47%. Given how frequently she has been bagelled, her individual games total looks under pressure even in sets that might otherwise be competitive.
Match Results: Ayla Aksu
Elena Malygina Player Overview
Elena Malygina has been showing more consistent results: she has won 5 of her last 10 matches, with two of those wins coming in qualifying at this same tournament. She beat Gúlia Pereira De Aguiar and Gabriella Da Silva Fick back to back, which points to decent form ahead of the main draw. Statistically, Malygina wins half of all games (50%) and takes the first set more often than her opponent, doing so in four out of ten matches. Despite a modest hold percentage, her overall points balance is in her favour - she wins just over half of all points played per match.
Match Results: Elena Malygina
Key factors
- Ayla Aksu has won fewer than 12.5 games in 7 of her last 8 matches.
- Ayla Aksu has lost 0-2 in sets five times in her last ten matches.
- Ayla Aksu has won just 45% of games over her last ten matches.
- Elena Malygina has already beaten Ayla Aksu in their head-to-head.
Expected scenario
The main scenario points to a straight-sets result with a limited number of games won by Ayla Aksu. Her recent matches suggest she has struggled to clear the individual total line even in competitive sets, and the probability of a third set is considered low.
Total Games Prediction
Recent matches show a consistent pattern of Ayla Aksu failing to reach 12.5 games won, even in extended sets or when facing resistance within a set. This is directly linked to her current results and weak hold percentage.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Ayla Aksu's form has been inconsistent: a run of straight-sets defeats goes hand in hand with a low games-won percentage and problems on serve. Yelena Malygina's head-to-head win adds to the picture - she had previously managed to limit the games Aksu took, and the current form of both players suggests a similar outcome is possible. A two-set result looks most likely, which reduces the chances of Aksu exceeding the stated individual total threshold. The pick is Ayla Aksu - Player Total Games Under 12.5.
