Laura Pigossi Player Overview
Laura Pigossi has also won 7 of her last 10 matches, though her average games per match is considerably lower at just 17. This reflects frequent quick finishes, both in wins and losses. In five of those matches she won without dropping a set, and twice she lost without taking a set. A win over Berfu Cengiz sits alongside recent defeats to Despina Papamichail and Vendula Valdmannova.
