Polona Hercog Player Overview
Polona Hercog goes into this match having won four of her last ten, which points to inconsistent form. In her previous three matches she beat Madalena Matthias and Jasmine Ortenzi but lost to Jessica Manerio in the quarter-finals in Lisbon. Her average of 24.1 games per match suggests a tendency towards long sets. Although her games and sets won percentages do not mark her out as a clear favourite, she is often able to make matches competitive even in defeat. Worth noting too is her high first-serve percentage of 74%, though her hold rate is low at just 35%, which frequently contributes to extended matches.

Her average of 21.3 games per match also points to frequent extended sets. She has a high first-serve percentage (83%), but her hold rate is extremely low at just 6%. Despite her weak service games, Capurro Taborda regularly wins sets and can compete for every game, helped by a solid break-point conversion rate of 58%.
Match Results: Martina Capurro Taborda
Key factors
- Polona Hercog averages 24.1 games per match; Martina Capurro Taborda averages 21.3.
- Both players frequently play matches with extended sets.
- Over their last 10 matches each, both players have recorded wins and losses, pointing to inconsistency and the potential for a competitive contest.
- Games and sets statistics do not indicate a clear advantage for either player.
Expected scenario
Both players are capable of holding serve and making things difficult on return, so a one-sided two-set result looks unlikely. The match could go to two close sets or extend to a third - either way, this fits a bet on the total going over.
⭐️ Editor's Pick
Neither player is in particularly stable form, and neither dominates in the key metrics or on winning streaks. Average game counts in their matches exceed the standard two-set scenario for this type of encounter. A third set or extended sets is a real possibility even given the difference in level between the two players at this stage. The pick is Total Games - Over 19.5.
