Aliona Falei Player Overview
Aliona Falei arrives at this stage in mixed form - five wins and five losses in her last ten matches. At her previous tournament she lost to Elena Pridankina, and in the current event she beat Tayra Katerina Grant in the first round. Her main issue is an inconsistent hold rate: she wins just 46% of her service games. Her double-fault rate is also fairly high at 7%, which frequently costs her the initiative. Her set-winning percentage of 48% is below the average for this stage of the tournament, and she holds no significant advantage on return points. Despite some individual strong matches, she has lacked consistency throughout tournaments.
