MLADENOVIC V GASPARYAN - GASPARYAN 11-8 

Gasparyan leads the head to head 1-0 winning their only meeting back in Moscow on indoor courts in straight sets. Indoor hard courts records throughout their career reads Mladenovic 80-43 Gasparyan 78-38.The serve and return stats are very similar with Mladenovic holding serve 68% of the time and Gasparyan 67.2% in terms of return of serve this is the key to this match as Gasparyan has the better return game as shown by her 38.6% break percentage and Mladenovic does rely on her serve which in this match up looks vulnerable to me.
