Player Overview

Sofia Costoulas has a career baseline win percentage close to 56%, which reflects her competitive edge, particularly on hard courts. Currently, she is experiencing a downward trend, with recent performances not aligning with her established standard. Her two-year trajectory indicates a struggle to maintain consistency, especially after a recent loss at the WTA Wimbledon, where she was defeated by Sofia Hunter without winning a set.

Costoulas enters the Livesport Prague Open following a mixed bag of results. She secured a solid victory over Nao Hibino, yet her prior matches saw her falter against Tereza Valentova and others. This inconsistency raises concerns as she approaches her next match. With only one win in her last five outings, the pressure mounts to deliver a strong performance on home soil.

A. Aksu

Player Overview

Ayla Aksu's current form reflects a challenging phase, with a career baseline win percentage hovering around 50%. Although she has shown flashes of potential, her recent performances suggest a declining trend. Aksu's two-year trajectory reveals difficulties in securing wins, particularly after a loss to Viktoria Morvayova at the Livesport Prague Open.

After her victory over Anna Kubareva in Palma del Rio, Aksu faced setbacks against both Valdmannova and Micic, illustrating her struggle to maintain momentum. With no wins in her last five matches in various tournaments, Aksu must find her footing quickly to avoid another early exit. This match is crucial for her to regain confidence and establish a winning rhythm.
