Plays Sherif in about an hour. Obviously massive price at 7s against established WTA player.
I'm super impressed by her level head and work ethic. She's essentially the opposite of Anisimova (a player with diamond tipped groundies but who has taken a hiatus because she doesn't seem to want to play tennis). Kristina is pretty weaponless which showed when she lost the junior US open to big hitting Montgomery. But she has the attitude and mindset of quietly commited ambition.
She's also a looker but doesn't seem to have too many distractions. I doubt her head would be detrimentally turned by commercial opportunities if she made a run. I think she hits double figures in the rankings by the end of the year. Keep her on your radar.
She lost but made a fight of the second set. Won't be long till she's winning these, she got good wins over Timoveeva and Rus earlier in the year. It'll be interesting to see her on the grass. Her greatest strength looks to be as a thinker, working out matches in real time.
