The Difference Maker: Talia Gibson has faced only 8 break points in the tournament and dropped only 4 service games. She has also created 23 break chances and converted 9.
What to Expect: Gibson’s high-risk, high-reward game pays off against Krueger. Gibson’s style can be error-prone, but when it’s on, the Australian can beat anyone on the tour. Krueger will try a more disciplined approach, looking to grind Gibson down in long rallies. Still, Krueger cannot afford to play passively against a heavy-hitter like Gibson, who can overwhelm her opponents with her ruthless power.
Fearless Forecast: Talia Gibson wins 4-6, 6-4, 6-3
