Analysis for Medina-Govortsova (WTA Australian Open)

Head-to-head record 0:0

Olga Govortsova from Belarus will face Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues in the second round in Melbourne. Medina is an experienced player who has won eleven singles titles during her career. She is one of the most unpredictable players, as she is capable of spectacular shotmaking especially with her outstanding backhand and clever dropshots. Like many of her Spanish compatriots, she is a very crafty clay court specialist who grinds to win most of her rallies. However, unlike most of her fellow Spaniards, she is very competitive on hard courts as well. Her current form is not ideal.

Belarusian prodigy Olga Govortsova is an offensive baseliner. Her game relies heavily on the power, depth and placement of her forehand strokes, producing lots of winners through penetrating, flat shots, with the occasional spice of topspin. She has a huge but inconsistent serve and the mental condition is probably her weakest point. She demolished Mayr in the first round here and she can win this clash today too. Odds around 2.7 our good enough for us.
