How far she went: Anastasia reached the fourth round for the first time before losing to Pavali Bichenkova.
What we learned: While Kartal says that Clay is his favorite surface, I am not surprised to see him doing good on the grass.
In women’s game you often see players who like soil, which do good on grass because both surfaces react well to spin, although the opposite type of spin.
Players who enjoy heavy top -spin on their forehands – such as Kartal – often also enjoy killing their slices backhands.
You can see Jasmine Paolini and Os Jabur, both who have reached the Wimbledon finals in recent years, as good examples of players who like the variety and bends more in their spin on the grass.
What can she take next: There is still a place for improvement.
When you see recent women who have reached the top 10, you feel that ‘Kartal can’t do this?’
He is such a sponge. This is why it is moving quickly through the ranking. She is able to intensify for the change of ball speed and intensity as she begins to play women ranked at the top.
This year he has a great opportunity to capitalize on people who do not know his game’s Ince and outsiders.
If she can stay a step ahead when girls begin to find out those weaknesses, and how to combat it, she can go too much.
