🔍 Match Breakdown

Pavlyuchenkova’s ability to dictate from the baseline and change pace gives her the edge. She’ll seek to mix in slices, pull Lys wide, and use her flat backhand to take time away. Lys must stay sharp, extend points, and find ways to draw errors—especially from Pavlyuchenkova’s backhand when pressured.

Expect a well-fought encounter with Lys pushing deep into games, but Pavlyuchenkova’s composure in clutch moments and overall variety should give her the edge.

🔮 Prediction

Prediction: Pavlyuchenkova in 2 tight sets (e.g. 7–5, 6–4)
