It all comes down to Sunday at Istanbul 2 (Turkey), where Hanne Vandewinkel faces Lanlana Tararudee for the trophy. Hanne Vandewinkel limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 2 wins in 10. Lanlana Tararudee limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 7 wins in 10.
The two have never played — a first meeting always adds a layer of uncertainty the numbers can't fully capture.
The underlying stats are tight across the board — this is a matchup decided by a handful of points. The edge belongs to Vandewinkel — real, but not the kind you take for granted at this level.
