• ✅ Chennai qualies split: beat Anshba; lost to Lew Yan Foon.

Donna Vekic

• 📉 2025: 13–23 overall | 7–14 on hard.

• ⚠️ Volatile month with early exits, yet clear class/experience edge in this matchup.

🔍 Match Breakdown

Vekic’s first-strike pace (serve + forehand) should set the terms on hard, keeping points short and forcing Adkar to defend on the stretch. For Adkar, the route is pragmatic: lift first-serve percentage, add height and depth through the middle, and invite extra balls to tease Vekic’s error streaks. If the favorite lands early patterns and protects second serve, the power gap shows; if focus wobbles, the underdog can turn this into a grind with crowd energy.

🔮 Prediction

Pick: Vekic in straight sets. Expect the favorite to control with first-strike tennis provided the concentration holds; Adkar needs a messy, rally-heavy script to spring an upset.

📊 Tale of the Tape (Qualitative)

• Class edge: Vekic (tour pedigree, bigger weapons).
• Form variance: Vekic volatile; brief lapses possible.
• Serve patterns: Vekic to target forehand first-ball strikes; Adkar to body-serve and play high margin.
• Rally length: Short favors Vekic; long favors Adkar.
• Intangibles: Home crowd boost for Adkar; experience under pressure favors Vekic.
