Elsa Jacquemot vs Gabriela Knutson Preview

Elsa Jacquemot won the all-French first-round match in Limoges against Chloe Paquet in straight sets. However, the match was a tight affair and took 23 games to decide and lasted nearly two hours. Both players exchanged breaks in the first break and Jacquemot eventually asserted control when the set headed into a tiebreak, garnering a crucial mini break to move 6-5 up before sealing the set on her next point.

Jacquemot broke Paquet three times in the second set, but she also dropped her own serve twice. She needed two attempts to serve for victory, doing so to wrap up a 7-6, 6-4. Jacquemot hit 1 ace and accounted for 9 double faults. She landed 62% of first serves in play and won 73% of first serve points (35/48). Jacquemot won 38% of second serve points (11/29) and saved six of nine break points.

Gabriela Knutson saw off Alina Charaeva in three sets to kick off her campaign in Limoges. This is the Czech’s second appearance in Limoges and she secured her first win.

Knutson was on the brink of defeat when she trailed Charaeva by a set and a break. Charaeva had the match on her racket, but couldn’t serve it out at 6-2, 5-4 up and was broken to love. Knutson didn’t need more than two attempts to find a route back into the match. She won the second set in a tiebreak and broke at the start of the third set, which proved to be a decisive moment.

Elsa Jacquemot vs Gabriela Knutson Prediction

Jacquemot was a runner-up in this tournament two years ago, and she was a semifinalist last year. So, she’s got a pretty good track record of reaching the deep end of the draw in Limoges. But she’ll need to sort out her serve, which nearly proved costly. She served nine double faults, although she was clutch in saving break points. With that said, Jacquemot plays with measured aggression off the ground and her ability to reset rallies is such an asset. I think Jacquemot earns the lean here.
