Wozniacki has a great record against hitters

Although she disappointed against Bacssinszky by losing the first set, Wozniacki got into her rhythm in the second part of the match and scored a decisive victory. She will look to advance further against aggressive Giorgi, who finally ended her losing streak against Vandeweghe

Caroline really started the first round at New Haven the worst possible way. She lost her first serving game without winning a point, and then lost two more and the set as well. However, she then took control and won 12 of the next 15 games. This new win gave her an impressive score of 25 wins and just 2 defeats in New Haven, an excellent indicator that the conditions here suit her well.

The Danish player admitted that she started the match badly, and that Bacsinszky surprised her with an excellent opening. Nevertheless, she never lacked confidence, and sought control and her opponent's errors through deep balls throughout the match. Once she adjusted, the match became a one-way street. After the victory she said this:
-I must credit her for a really great opening of the match. I felt great, I just needed a few games to adjust to the new balls and faster surface. I was filled with confidence, and there is not much to think about against Giorgi. She hits the ball strong and looks for a winner in every strike, so I'll have to be ready and look to be aggressive.

While Wozniacki was expected to win, as she is in great form, the situation is opposite with Giorgi. She had a tough opponent in the first round, but still managed to win decisively, ending a 4 game losing streak. Coco had an incredibly bad day, and Giorgi deserved to win after a much better performance in rallies.

Both underperformed on serves, Vandeweghe made 48% of her first serves, while Giorgi was even worse with 39%. However, she did win 88% of her first serve points and 56% of her second serve, while at the same time being a constant threat to the American on returns. Giorgi displayed an impressive performance and after losing 1-3 in the first set won 11 of the next 12 games, scoring a victory. leaving out the double faults and low firs serve percentage, she moved well and had an acceptable number of unforced errors.

Despite Giorgi losing against much worse players over the last few weeks, one gets the impression she is underestimated in this match. The surface is somewhat faster and that alone brings her "free" points on first serve. The Danish players should win here, but both of their previous matches suggest that this could be a much closer match than the odds suggest.

Yes, Giorgi did not cover this handicap against Rogers, while Wozniacki is also in great form, but I still must play this pair. Camila beat Coco with excellent performance in rallies, the American just had no defense against her game. She was constantly on offense, but extremely precise and keeping the number of unforced errors at acceptable levels, which is truly a success for her. Wozniacki on the other hand showed she was vulnerable on serve. She won the two second sets primarily due to the inconsistency of her opponent on serves, but Giorgi will be able to take advantage of here second serve. New Haven is slightly faster than her previous tournaments, which also favors Camila. Both previous matches they played were close, and I expect the Italian player to put up a quality resistance this time as well, as she has the quality to surprise.
