Oksana Selekhmeteva Player Overview
Oksana Selekhmeteva holds the higher ranking, but her current form looks inconsistent: four wins and six losses in her last ten matches. Her most recent win came against Aoi Ito, after which she lost two in a row to Kamilla Rakhimova and Nastasja Mariana Schunk. Despite a high service games won percentage of 64%, her overall games won percentage in this period is just 47%, and her sets won percentage 43%. This points to a lack of clear dominance during matches, allowing opponents to stay competitive deep into each set.
