Halep Simona - Pliskova Karolina

Christams in Hua Hin (Thailand) we have some exhibition matches in WTA.

It's a final, but only after one match, hard to say what will happen, but these two players often plays with all power and motivation.

Simona Halep currently a first racket in the world, she must to play like it, after first match we can say she played really well, like in normal tourmanent. Halep is small girl, but with a low of power in her legs and hands, she can serve decent serve, hit very good forehand hits and play good tennis from backhand when she need. Mostly she uses her brain win, not muscle, she is mix style player and that help alot against such strong opponents like Pliskova.

Karolia Pliskova - she is in 4 place at the moment, very good player, she reached many good rounds of all tournaments, her favourite surface is hard courts. Yesterday in match against Ostapenko she had no problems, she played decent tennis and latvian girl made way to many mistakes. Karolina is very strong player, she have best serve on tour now, she hits many aces, also girl is tall, so it hard to lob her. Long hand helps around the net, of course she is slower player, but her power buys her victory often.

In the end - i think world no.1 will take her first title of the new season today, maybe it will be harder, she may do it in 3 set's. h2h Simona Halep leads 5-1 that mean a lot.
