The opening set lasted over an hour and featured 9 double faults from the Croatian.

I’ll give Van Uytvanck the benefit of the doubt because Friedsam has been in especially awful form heading into this tournament.Įmbed from Getty Images Ana Konjuh vs Anastasia GasanovaĪna Konjuh made a unconvincing start to her Nur-Sultan campaign as she defeated lucky-loser Urszula Radwanska 7-6 6-1. Van Uytvanck is probably the better player thanks to her superior serve and firepower, at least when she is at her best, but clearly Friedsam is able to trouble the Belgian given the head-to-head record. This looks like a fairly even match-up and neither player has been particularly impressive of late. Friedsam has a 3-2 head-to-head record over Van Uytvanck, the German won their most recent meeting 4-6 7-6 6-4 in Hobart in 2018. Meanwhile Friedsam was forced to battle from a set down to beat Arina Rodionova, a 4-6 6-4 6-2 victory.
#ARINA GASANOVA HOW TO#
Potapova should have the edge here, she’s in better form and clearly knows how to handle this match-up.Įmbed from Getty Images Alison Van Uytvanck vs Anna-Lena FriedsamĪlison Van Uytvanck was forced to work harder than expected for her opening round victory over world #524 Zhibek Kulambayeva, ultimately prevailing 6-3 6-4 but didn’t have things all her own way. The Russian has been playing some solid tennis of late having arrived in Kazakhstan fresh from a decent week in Ostrava where she successfully moved through the qualifying draw, defeated Caroline Garcia and pushed Petra Kvitova to the sets. Potapova also made a shaky start at the WTA Astana Open but steadied the ship quickly enough to secure a 7-5 6-1 win over Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove. Their most recent meeting ended in a 7-6 6-2 win for Potapova in Montreal last month. Particularly because Anastasia Potapova has already beaten Mladenovic twice this year, both in straight sets. The Frenchwoman will need to produce an improved performance if she is to advance any further this week. Kristina Mladenovic survived a big scare in her opening round match-up where she was forced to battle past world #287 Anna Danilina 6-4 6-7 6-4 in just under three hours. On a slow court, Tsurenko can pull off the win here just as she did in their previous meeting.Įmbed from Getty Images Kristina Mladenovic vs Anastasia Potapova Gracheva has an aggressive style and she will take charge whenever she gets the chance, but Tsurenko defends well and likes playing the role of the counterpuncher. Tsurenko hasn’t been at her best for years, 2021 has been a forgettable one for the 32-year-old, but it seems like this could be the week where things finally click.
