The favorite of the match remains the polka, who so far shows herself well in personal meetings. In Caja Magica, she played five of them, of which she won four without losing a set. She gave this number to Ekaterina Alexandrova in a tie-break. In addition, among the “victims” of Rashinyanka were such opponents as Yulia Grabher, Bernarda Pera, Petra Martic and Veronika Kurdemietova. The excellent form of the white-reds is best evidenced by the meeting with the latter. She won both sets 6-1.
Sobolenko didn’t have an easy ladder either, at least in theory. However, the scenario is similar to what we saw in the case of our compatriot. The 25-year-old athlete first dealt with Sorana Kirstya, then in the semifinals she defeated Camila Osorio and Mirra Andreeva, Mayar Sherif (she took the only set from the Belarusian in Madrid) and Maria Sakkari.
