Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva Player Overview
Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva is going through a difficult stretch of the season: just 3 wins from her last 10 matches. Her set-winning percentage is low at 39%, and a run of straight-sets defeats points to inconsistency on both serve and return. Despite holding the head-to-head advantage over her opponent, Victoria often cedes the initiative and rarely wins more than half the games in a match. At her most recent tournament she managed only one round before losing again, this time to Jessica Ponchet. Her current form gives little reason to expect prolonged resistance against the favourite.
