Meng Xu, currently navigating a challenging phase, has not secured a victory in her last five matches, leading to a steep decline in her performance. With a career baseline win percentage around 50% on hard courts, she has struggled to maintain that level in recent competitions, which is reflected in her current trajectory that shows a downward trend. Her recent form has been marked by a series of defeats against players like Daria Kasatkina and others, with no sets won in her last five outings.
Xu's last encounter against Daria Kasatkina ended in a 1-2 loss in the WTA Wimbledon, a result that underscores her current difficulties. As she approaches this match, the lack of recent success raises concerns about her ability to compete effectively. Without a win to build on, expectations are low, and she must find a way to break this streak if she hopes to turn her season around.
