Julia Grabher vs Claire Liu Analysis
Julia Grabher‘s future success requires noting a mere coincidence, she reached the main draw of the tournament via qualifying after suffering an embarrassing defeat to Teresa Martintsova in qualifying. With Iga Swiatek gone, Grabher now has an opportunity to prove herself worthy of her residence permit in the top 100 rankings without ever claiming major victories; over her long career she won only four futures and one challenger, which cannot be considered remarkable success. Grabher has gone 4-9 on hard courts over the past year, winning 57.7% of her service games and 21.6% of return matches. On hard courts over this time period, Grabher converted 16 of 31 breakpoints (51.6%) on these surfaces; ranking 277th in break points won. At her most recent tournament (Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships), Grabher lost to Leylah Annie Fernandez 4-6, 2-6 on February 19, in round of 64 play-offs.
Claire Liu is worth remembering her ability to solve modest challenges. While at junior level, Claire achieved Wimbledon glory, in the professionals she failed to win anything truly significant. Over this past season, Claire Liu came close to winning several significant titles (Monastir top 4 and Rabat top 2) but something always fell short. On similar courts last month she managed to beat Katerina Sinyakova ahead of schedule by achieving 75% of break points (3 out of 4). Claire Liu has not won a title on hard courts in over 12 months, posting a 12-14 match record there. Her service games on hard courts have gone 120-for-196 (61.2%) and return games 65-for-190 (34.2%), while break points have gone 64-for-136 with 47.1%, ranking her 172nd globally. On March 11th at BNP Paribas Open she suffered defeat 0-6, 1-6 to Iga Swiatek in round of 64 matches;
