S. Kraus

Player Overview

S. Kraus has built a career around a solid baseline win rate of nearly 60% and currently holds an Elo rating of 2100. Over the last two years, she has managed a win percentage of 64.6%, but her recent form is faltering, with only 40% in the last five matches. This declining trend raises questions about her readiness as she steps onto the grass in Bad Homburg.

Recently, Kraus secured two convincing wins against R. Zarazua and T. Martincova, scoring 2-0 in both matches. However, prior losses to L. Zhu and draws with top-tier players like P. Badosa indicate inconsistency. With a career record on grass showing she has struggled, Kraus must find her footing quickly against A. Kalinskaya.
