Head-to-head statistics Wang - Kulikova
Jiaqi Wang Player Overview
Jiaqi Wang arrives at this match in poor form, with just one win from her last ten matches. That sole victory came against Peangtarn Plipuech, after which the losses continued without much resistance. Despite a high first-serve percentage of 72%, she holds serve in only 63% of her service games. Difficulties with break-point conversion and a tendency to drop the second set add to her problems.

Anastasia Kulikova Player Overview
Anastasia Kulikova has been in consistent form, winning seven of her last ten matches, with a sets-won percentage of 64% and a games-won percentage of 54%. Her recent results reflect her status as a favourite against lower-ranked opponents - six of those wins came against players outside the top 200. Without particularly striking ace or double-fault numbers, the Finnish player tends to close out matches in straight sets, aided by her overall game advantage and ability to maintain her level through difficult patches.
