V. Lepchenko

Player Overview

Varvara Lepchenko has struggled to find her footing this season, with a career baseline hovering near 56% on hard courts. Currently, she's trending downward, reflecting a two-year trajectory that hasn't matched her previous highs. Her recent form has been erratic, leaving her vulnerable as she steps onto the court.

In her last five matches, Lepchenko's performance has been inconsistent, with only one victory against M. I. Burcescu in Iasi. However, her losses to A. Petkovic and C. Burel raise concerns about her ability to compete effectively. As she prepares to face Elina Avanesyan, Lepchenko will need to address these issues quickly to avoid another disappointing result.
