Polina Yatsenko has gone 5-5 across her last ten matches, with inconsistent results throughout. She won both matches in the previous two rounds of US Open qualifying, though before that she lost to Claire Liu in the opening round of Cincinnati qualifying.

Andrea Lazaro Garcia Player Overview
Andrea Lazaro Garcia has also won five of her last ten matches, but stands out for her reliability on serve - she holds around 60% of her service games.
