Lepchenko, a former top 20 player, is far and away from her best tennis, 4-18 on the WTA tour since 2019. With all that said, I would trust Lepchenko more over Melnikova in this match.<strong> Lepchenko in 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Weronika Baszak vs Aliaksandra Sasnovich<\/h3>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color: #fff; display: inline-block; font-family: Roboto,sans-serif; color: #a7a7a7; font-size: 11px; width: 100%; max-width: 594px;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1326784498\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 73.90572% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/1326784498?et=qizNVtkLQbNLHsHMOkd4uQ&amp;tld=com&amp;sig=BvoDjD_gowGVOLIUD3mngSGb8rTFvT8L5E6wwzDHLV8=&amp;caption=true&amp;ver=1\" width=\"594\" height=\"439\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sasnovich has a decent record on tour this season with a couple of quarterfinals on clay recently, Baszak is a young Polish player with very limited tour experience.
