The Winners Open (WTA Cluj-Napoca) quarterfinals are here on the clay in Romania. Here is your look at all four matches on Friday.
Mayar Sherif vs Kristina Kucova
Sherif leads the h2h 3-1, Kucova scraped past Irina Maria Bara in the previous round and is playing great, but fatigue could be a factor and Sherif has had a great tournament so far. Given the h2h I will back the Egyptian in an upset as Sherif looks primed to continue her great week. Sherif in 3
Kristyna Pliskova vs Mihaela Buzarnescu
Buzarnescu won their only meeting, the home player, who was a semifinalist in Bastad, hasn’t dropped a set this week and is playing some thrilling tennis. Pliskova is in a second straight quarterfinal and also hasn’t dropped a set, but at home I have to go with Buzarnescu. Buzarnescu in 2
Anna Karolina Schmiedlova vs Aleksandra Krunic
Schmiedlova and Krunic split h2h meetings 2-2, the qualifier Krunic hasn’t dropped a set all week, Schmiedlova has won seven matches in a row and also looks unbothered this week. Given Schmiedlova’s incredible form she should be the favorite in what looks like a great match. Schmiedlova in 2
Seone Mendez vs Andrea Petkovic
Petkovic continues to win, Mendez is having a great week and has broken through, but Petkovic is a force to be reckoned with right now and should have the upper hand. Petkovic in 2
