Czech players feature heavily in the round of 16 at the WTA Prague Open including a matchup between Siniakova and Smitkova. Who will move on to the quarterfinal stage?
Katerina Siniakova vs Tereza Smitkova
The h2h is split 1-1 between the pair, they both played great in their opening matches, but the level of performance and current ranking gap is between stark between them. At this point in time Smitkova looks to be at a disadvantage and Siniakova is the favorite to go through. Siniakova in 2
Nina Stojanovic vs Grace Min
Both players needed three sets to get through their opening matches, Stojanovic ahs a much stronger record on the WTA tour this year though and should have the game to get through this match. Stojanovic in 3
Asia Muhammad vs Tereza Martincova
Muhammad won another match after qualifying but the run should end here, Martincova had a routine round 1 victory and is simply the better, more accomplished player, with every chance to be lifting the champions trophy at the end of this tournament. Muhammad winning would come as a big surprise. Martincova in 2
Rebecca Sramkova vs Viktoria Kuzmova
This is their third meeting with the h2h split 1-1, Sramkova’s upset of Kvitova after qualifying sets her up to continue to make a run in Prague. Kuzmova needed three sets against Mona Barthel and although that win did snap a significant losing streak, it’s advantage Sramkova on a form basis. Sramkova in 2
