What to Expect: It’s going to take a lot from Kartal, but she might have a real shot at a top-10 win against Svitolina. The Ukrainian has displayed exceptional tennis in Wuhan, but she might not be ready for what Kartal has in store for her. Kartal is not only punishing opponents with her big serves, but she is also dealing massive damage with her sharp returns. Kartal’s flat, penetrating groundstrokes could pose problems for Svitolina, especially they are finding their marks along the line.
