Nuria Brancaccio Player Overview
Nuria Brancaccio has looked less convincing in recent tournaments - three defeats in her last ten matches, with a service hold rate of just 6%. She is winning a little over half her games (55%) and has won only three of those ten matches to a bagel. Her break-point conversion stands at 36%, and a high rate of games dropped points to persistent difficulties holding her own on serve. On hard courts, those numbers become particularly costly against a stronger opponent.
