Dart has been clocking up the time on hard courts, which perhaps does explain the better stats over 2022 on hard courts but will face a far more experienced foe in Svitolina.
Playing Styles & Prediction
Dart will need to remain very aggressive and be very much on the move against Svitolina, who is maybe a bit more of a defensive baseliner. The Ukrainian’s strength is to force more aggressive players to always play that extra ball to draw out the errors – and together with a slightly flakier second serve, Dart will have to bring her very best tennis to even drag Svitolina the distance.
Prediction: Svitolina in straight sets.
