Oksana Selekhmeteva Player Overview
Oksana Selekhmeteva arrives at the semi-finals in mixed form - four wins from her last ten matches. At this tournament she has beaten Tayla Preston and Capucine Jauffe, showing she can find solutions against different styles. Her serve has been a weakness, though: she has held just 58% of her service games and her double-fault rate stands at 19%. Even so, she wins close to half of all games overall and is capable of taking sets off higher-ranked opponents. She rarely loses in straight sets without a fight, which reflects her ability to stay competitive on the scoreboard.

Expected scenario
