Kontaveit has been unconvincing in recent tournaments. In the second half of the season, the Estonian is clearly far from her best game. Undoubtedly, she has the support of the local public on her side, but it will hardly be enough to defeat the rapidly progressing Xiyu Wang.
Both tennis players have been playing numerous long matches lately. Thus, in the three previous matches, Xiyu Wang played the maximum number of sets. Kontaveit has recorded exchange of sets won in three of the last four meetings.
Anett Kontaveit is the first seed at the Tallinn tournament. Clearly, fans are expecting a successful performance from her. However, the Estonian tennis player is not in the best shape for her home competition.
The world #4 has only four wins in her last four hard courts tournaments. Two of them were at not the most prestigious tournament in Prague. In the US Open, Kontaveit fell to Serena Williams in the second round (6-7, 6-2, 2-6) and has not played an official match since.
In four of Anett Kontaveit’s last five matches against lower-ranked opponents, more than 20 games have been played.

Such successes allowed her to renew her achievement in the world rankings. She is currently ranked 58th in the world.
After the US Open, Xiyu Wang took a long break and did not play anywhere on tour before the start in Tallinn.
