Player Overview

S. Waltert, while not yet at her peak, has shown signs of improvement with a solid baseline game. She is currently on a stable trajectory, maintaining her performance despite a recent loss to Paula Badosa. Waltert's Elo rating suggests she is competing effectively, particularly on clay surfaces, where she has historically performed well.

In her past five matches, Waltert has secured two wins, including a pair of commanding straight-set victories at Bastad. However, the draw against Kawa raises questions about consistency. Waltert must leverage her recent form to seize the initiative in this rematch, aiming for a decisive win to bolster her confidence.
