1Target Eugenio in extended cross-court exchanges: use heavy bandeja/vÃbora and repeat body/hip serves to force shorter lobs and rushed overheads, then finish through the middle to avoid Sainz’s counter-angles.
2Protect Alonso’s transition: prioritize higher, deeper lobs over Sainz to neutralize her left-side volley/overhead patterns; when defending, play higher to the backhand corner to reduce Sainz’s vibora-to-the-fence and open the counter-lob.
3Manage tempo and the golden points: Salazar should slow the rally, use varied chiquitas to pull Sainz off the net, and look for first-volley depth; Sainz/Eugenio need aggressive first two shots (serve + 1 / return + 1) to avoid getting trapped in Salazar’s positional control.
