Lephenko is WTA level with 6 wins this season. She was nowhere to be found for three months with an 'injury' even though she allegedly failed doping test. After that break, Lephenko reached Nurnberg QF on clay court and got a set against Makarova at RG. But that is even less important. The important thing is that there is a difference in quality and that both played similar opponents. Lepchenko trashed every opponent out of Top 150 but one in the last three seasons. She played ten matches against players out of Top 150 since 2014. She won 9 out of 10 of those by 7 or more games. We need to know there were some girls in Top 200 there but Ana Vrljic is not Top 200. She played against two players from Top 150 this season and lost to both easily. She didn't get a single game against Oprandi and lost to Jorovic by 10 games. They are not even Top 100 like Lephenko. Ana's form is very questionable. She has just two wins at the last 6 tournaments. She lost 3 of the 6 matches as a favorite. All of that suggests the difference in quality is big and that we can except an easy win for Varvara.
