[Tennis- WTA Rome] 13.5/ 12:00 A.Barty- V.Kudermetova

Australian Barty (Rank 1) is hot at the moment on the clay and looks to secure a spot in the quarter finals. She is currently 12-2 on clay in 2021.
Barty has 26-4 record in 2021 including 3 titles and 1 runner up. Barty hasn't dropped a set so far this tournament.
Russian Kudermetova (Rank 28) is 24-10 in 2021 and has a clay record of 13-2 this year.
She usually has a poor 1st serve percentage (50.9%) and will struggle unless she increases her first serve percentage.
She did however beat Mertens last round because her serve was on point that match (71%), but did still get broken twice.
Kudermetova likes the baseline attack and flat forehands while Barty enjoys more efficiency and finesse. To beat Barty, Kudermetova will have to step up her serves, volleys, and ground strokes.
Lets hope Barty doesn't choke a set like she occasionally does but Kudermetova has too much flaws to fix to do so and has never experienced a player like Barty before.
