Leolia Jeanjean - Maha Chwalinska

It's a very difficult decision, conflicting thoughts. I also think the same for the books, since the odds are completely identical. These players met in 2022 when Jeanjean won in 3 sets, 6-3, 3-6, 6-2. I don't know how the match went, but it seems that in the first set she held her concentration, in the second she let off the gas a bit, while her opponent focused more, resulting in her winning the set. However, we can see that there were even 2 break points in the third set, which means that when fatigue sets in, one must deal with both psychology and technique. Yes, in this case, Chwalinskaya defeated Sherif yesterday. I wouldn't give all the credit to Sherif, as she had a mental slump when she easily lost her break in the first set. The 6-1 score in the third set shows that it was a complete mental slump for Sherif - there was no more fight left, so she was defeated. In these situations, women experience highs and lows, when they need to pick themselves up and get their head in the game. Today, I think it will be a close match and there is a high chance that the winner will be decided in the third set. But today, I see Jeanjean as the winner, because personally, she is more stable and I like her current form. She doesn't make careless mistakes, can hold her serve consistently, and has good court coverage and shots. Also, when she sees her opponent defeating a strong opponent, she enters the court with maximum concentration and determination. Of course, I think Chwalinska will want revenge, but I believe Jeanjean's experience will prevail in the end.
