A. Aksu

Player Overview

Aysun Aksu has been grappling with consistency, evident in her career baseline that hovers around 56% on hard courts. Currently, her performance trend is declining, a stark contrast to her two-year trajectory, which shows a slide from her established form. This is a challenging phase as she has not secured a win in her last five matches, indicating a struggle to maintain competitiveness.

Aksu's recent outings tell a stark story. She faced a tough defeat against Sofia Costoulas just a day ago, losing 0-2, and prior to that, she failed to capitalize against V. Morvayova, winning only one match in her last five. With no sets won in her last ten encounters, Aksu heads into this match needing a breakthrough to regain her footing in the tournament.
