Karolina Pliskova vs Kaja Juvan
May 20, 2022 9:30 am EDT

Karolina Pliskova and Kaja Juvan meet in the semifinals of the 2022 tennis Internationaux de Strasbourg.

Karolina Pliskova is coming off a straight set win over Maryna Zanevska that took 23 games to decide. In the victory, Pliskova won 69 percent of her first serve points and 50 percent of her second serve points. Pliskova won 61 percent of her total service points and converted on four of her seven break points. Pliskova got 59 percent of her first serves in play and hit six aces. This is the first time Pliskova has won three straight matches since last year’s US Open. Pliskova looks to make her first final since last year’s Canadian Open and the 33rd final appearance of her career. Pliskova has split her last 10 matches on clay court.

Kaja Juvan is coming off a straight set win over Elise Mertens that took 23 games to decide. In the victory, Juvan won 63 percent of her first serve points and 59 percent of her second serve points. Juvan won 61 percent of her total service points and converted on four of her seven break points. Juvan got 57 percent of her first serves in play and saved six of her nine break points. Juvan has won all six sets this tournament. Juvan looks to make her first ever WTA singles final appearance. Juvan has won six of her last eight matches on clay court.

There’s no match history between these two players.

Give Juvan credit for getting to this stage, but the bottom line is she’s never made a final trip on the main stage, and now she goes up against a top-10 player. Juvan was also shaky with her serve in her last effort, something a player like Pliskova will take full advantage of. 

Give me Pliskova in straight sets.
