Ekaterine Gorgodze Player Overview
Ekaterina Gorgodze has won eight of her last ten matches, but her serving holds raise questions - she has won just 29% of her service games over that stretch. Despite coming through two rounds of US Open qualifying, the numbers suggest she has struggled to hold serve even against opponents outside the top 100. She also trails Knutson in both service points won (54%) and overall games won (52%). Her ace count is minimal at 0.3 per match, and while her double fault rate is low, that does little to offset the deficits in the key metrics.
