PREVIEW & TIPS Francesca Schiavone VS Yanina Wickmayer

One of the most exciting matches at the Indian Wells 125k Series tournament, the transition to the Premier Mandatory Grand Prix, is scheduled Monday night between two veterans in the WTA circuit – Francesca Schiavone (93 WTA) in Italy and Yanina Wickmayer (117 WTA) from Belgium. The chosen prognosis is favorable for less well-ranked tennis players but has the advantage in direct matches and has recently shown that they are in a superior sporting form.

Francesca Schiavone News

Francesca Schiavone is led 0-5 in direct matches with the Belgian, and in 2018 he has no victory

Former champion of Roland Garros has managed to maintain the world’s first world despite the fragility he is displaying. Schiavone has a world-class experience with 526 wins and 422 defeats since 1999, since he officially made his debut in pro tournaments. On hard outdoor, the Italian balance sheet is 227 to 212, not bad at all, considering that it is originally a typical zygist.

In 2018, however, Francesca lost all three matches played on cement, Australian Open 1-6 4-6 with Ostapenko, Newport Beach 6-3 2-6 1-6 with Schmiedlova and Doha qualifiers 3-6 2 -6 with Sofya Zhuk.

It is obvious that peninsular sports have difficulty maintaining a steady pace of play at high speed with aggressive blows one after the other, as most of its younger adversaries evolve. The one-handed lapel is now a sensitive point for Schiavone, who is trying to alter the strikes, often change the slice tempo, but is exposed and eventually ends by mistake first in rallies.

Francesca Schiavone VS Yanina Wickmayer STATS

I chose a slightly less used option, but with a simple reasoning – the Italian will lower the level of intensity in the game with the passage of minutes, and his stronger and youngest opponent will attack with more and better calibrated strikes, once in a rhythm. Schiavone has never found an antidote to Yanina’s style of play, out of 11 played sets he took only one, 9 seasons ago, on the grass! Even less, I think he can do it now at the end of his career. Francesca plays passion for tennis, exudes this feeling almost every artistic blow that he tries, but it is very difficult to cope physically at the age of 37, especially since he does not have a very athletic constitution. There will be applause, it will be a veteran show, but most points and victory in the second set believe it will belong to the favorites.

Yanina Wickmayer News

Yanina Wickmayer already has a title in 2018, conquered at ITF Surprise 2 weeks ago

Wickmayer has been trying for years to return to a top level, but he’s not doing well. It is also hard to climb among the top 15 athletes of the world, where it once was, when it reached the US Open semifinals. However, around here, Yanina signals that she is not a tennis player finished, and at just 28 years she has every reason to try to return to the form that has consecrated her. It is tall, well built at 1.82 meters and 68 kilograms, with an aggressive game on the bottom line, with two-handed blows – forehand and backhand doubled.

Recently, the Belgian won the ITF Surprise title on the outdoor hard, convincingly defeating most of the opponents, with only two sets ceded on the track. Each time they were the first ones lost, then came back and played better and better. 202-134 is the career score for Wickmayer on outdoor hardwood, 6-3 in 2018.
