Elisabetta Cocciaretto comes to Shenzhen WTA ranked 91st and with a 2025 win-loss ratio near 23-22 according to the WTA player card. In the Billie Jean King Cup quarterfinals, she performed tough and skillfully to lead Italy to a 2-0 victory over the host China — she brought the match back on track to secure her singles rubber and send Italy through as the reigning champion. Cocciaretto’s season has been a roller-coaster of her getting the ball rolling with a confident baseline and successful clay/generic-court (she has shown good form in mid-season clay tournaments) but also some short runs. From a technical point of view, she is an energetic, footwork-first baseliner who can create angles and change the speed of the ball; her return and movement make her able to participate in extended rallies, but her serve and error control might be off when under pressure. She is often good for the team atmosphere where she can raise her level - thus, she becomes a tough opponent in best-of-three BJK Cup singles.
🇺🇦 Marta Kostyuk
Marta Kostyuk is a 26-year-old player on the WTA ranking list and has a record of 24-18 for 2025. She provided her country with an early quarterfinal favorite point by thrashing Jessica Bouzas Mañeíro 7-6(3), 6-2, followed by Ukraine winning against Spain (Svitolina sealing the tie), thus, Ukraine is going to the semifinal.
Kostyuk combines aggressive flat groundstrokes (especially a compact, punchy forehand), fast footwork, and a developing serve in her game; she loves to change her defense into attack and to hit attacking volleys. On hard courts, she is extremely effective: she does not allow her opponent to get comfortable as she takes the ball early and she tries to control the game by using depth and angles.
Her pressure handling in team matches has improved significantly as she has demonstrated the power to elevate her level at the deciding moments but at the same time she is prone to having unforced error counts that raise during these moments. Taking into account that it is an indoor arena and the matches will be played on hard courts, Kostyuk stands out as the more stable hard-court player.
