D. Salkova's career baseline on hard courts hovers near 56%, a reflection of her struggles in recent times. Currently, her form is declining, with a two-year trajectory indicating she has not found her rhythm and has yet to win a match this season. This downward trend coincides with an Elo rating that suggests she is operating below her potential, highlighted by a lack of success against formidable opponents.
In her last five matches, Salkova has faced a string of defeats, including a recent loss to A. Ibragimova at the WTA Iasi, where she failed to secure a set. Notably, she hasn't won a match since early June, which raises concerns heading into this encounter against D. Zoldakova. With no recent victories to build on, Salkova needs to reclaim her competitive edge quickly to turn the tide in this matchup.
