A spot in the next round is at stake on Sunday, when Anna Blinkova goes up against Yuliia Starodubtseva in the French Open first round. Yuliia Starodubtseva has won 7 of the last 10. Anna Blinkova limps in on a 2-match losing skid, just 3 wins in 10.
Nothing separates them historically — the head-to-head sits at 1-1. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Starodubtseva — worth more than the overall number this week.
Yuliia Starodubtseva simply rates much higher on clay, and our number follows from it. If Starodubtseva plays anywhere close to a normal level, this ends in relatively comfortable fashion.
