Clara Tauson vs Yuliia Starodubtseva Tips

Yuliia might be a tough opponent for Clara. She only burst onto the scene in 2023, but she has been on the tour for 10 years despite being just 25 years old. Tauson is not the finished article but gets the big matches under her belt sometimes. The Dane has also progressed through the years.

The Ukrainian Starodubtseva is in great form with 4 out of 5 wins. It's a tough test against the highly ranked Tauson, but she is in fine form.

Tauson’s elite serve, break conversion, and surface dominance on hard courts give her the clear edge. Starodubtseva may cause minor ripples, but expect Tauson to finish in straight sets.

Yuliia if showing her best form, has the ability to cause some problems for this higher ranked opponent so I'm not ruling out a 3 set match with Yuliia taking a surprise 2-1 win , she has been the more progressive player leading into this match.

This should be much closer than what the odds are suggesting in terms of a contest. A form player in the Ukrainian, so I imagine a battle for every game.
