G. Knutson has been battling through a tough stretch, with her career baseline hovering around a 56% win rate on hard courts. Currently, she's trending downward, struggling to establish a rhythm as her recent results reflect a challenging phase in her game. Her Elo rating indicates she has room for improvement, and she will need to dig deep to regain her footing.
In her last five matches, Knutson has not secured a victory, with her last win coming against I. Kurt almost two weeks ago in Istanbul. Her most recent match ended in a loss to S. Zhang at the WTA Washington, which adds pressure as she faces R. Sramkova. With no recent sets won and a lack of standout performances, she must find a way to compete effectively in this matchup.
