🔊 In the round of 16 at the Philadelphia tournament, Oxana Selekhmeteva takes on Capucine Jauffret. Both players have been competing on hard courts recently, which may have a bearing on how this match unfolds. Ahead of the contest, it is worth looking at the current form of both players and their recent match statistics.
Head-to-Head
📊 Oksana Selekhmeteva and Capucine Jauffret have never met before. With no head-to-head record to draw on, the balance of this match is assessed purely on recent results and each player's individual statistics.
Oksana Selekhmeteva Player Overview
Selekmeteva arrives at this match having won four of her last ten. In the previous round she beat Tayla Preston, and before that she alternated wins and losses through Cincinnati qualifying. She holds serve in around 57% of service games - towards the lower end of the WTA average, which means she cannot count on dominating her service games even against players outside the top 100. She averages close to 24 games per match, and her set-winning percentage stands at 46%. Straight-set wins are rare: only two of her last ten matches ended that way. The overall points split is similarly tight - 49% to her opponents' 51%. Even when she is the favourite, Selekmeteva rarely closes out matches without a fight.
Match Results: Oksana Selekhmeteva
Capucine Jauffret Player Overview
Capucine Jaufffret has won just two of her last ten matches, losing the other eight, though she tends to pick up a reasonable number of games regardless of the result. She beat Loua Boisson in the previous round, with only occasional wins breaking her losing runs before that. Her serve is a significant weakness - she holds around 10% of her service games, one of the lowest figures on the WTA tour. That said, she averages 18 games per match, and in six of her last seven matches she has taken six or more games. Even with a break-point conversion rate of just 25%, she can make individual sets competitive and take her chances when opponents make errors.
Match Results: Capucine Jauffret
Key factors
- Capucine Jauffret has won more than 5.5 games in 6 of her last 7 matches.
- Oksana Selekhmeteva does not show a consistent edge in games or sets won percentage.
- Jauffret has a low win rate, but she regularly accumulates enough games even in defeat.
- The average games-per-match figures for both players point to extended matches.
Expected scenario
Even if Selehmeteva holds the upper hand, the match looks likely to be competitive on a game-by-game basis rather than dominated by either player throughout. The moderate probability of a third set further supports the possibility that Jauffret could take at least six games regardless of the overall result.
Total Games Prediction
This trend shows Capucine's ability to consistently contribute games even against stronger opponents or when losing in straight sets - she often manages to put up a fight in at least one set or capitalise on a dip in her opponent's level.
⭐ Editor's Pick
Despite Oksana Selekhmeteva's status as favourite and her stronger win rate overall, the margin in points won and hold percentage is too narrow to suggest she dominates throughout. Capucine Jauffret has a habit of taking her chances even in defeat, helped by her opponent's inconsistency and the average match length on hard courts. Our pick is Capucine Jauffret - Player Total Games Over 5.5.
