However, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2025\/06\/04\/lois-boissons-fairy-tale-french-open-roland-garros\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">this year&#8217;s French Open semifinalist<\/a> remains most potent on clay and in slower conditions. Alexandrova is naturally more adept on a medium-speed hard court like the ones in Seoul. I do not think Boisson will be able to trouble the No. 2 seed enough with her heavy topspin forehand, which is a crucial part of her game.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Alexandrova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Beatriz Haddad Maia vs Ella Seidel<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Defending champion Haddad Maia made a solid start in the opening round. The Brazilian was probably happy to be back at a venue where she has been successful after a challenging season. Seidel handled Jessika Ponchet&#8217;s old-school playing style well in the previous round. Haddad Maia&#8217;s game is entirely different, and the German only has a chance if her higher-ranked opponent does not perform at her best.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Haddad Maia in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a  id=\"Pn6DiFCASDxMXMXpSgsxHQ\" class=\"gie-single\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2232948801\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Pn6DiFCASDxMXMXpSgsxHQ',sig:'3_8XPrTFTCKkPIeDlHHYrXg3PeM6kWMUp7L-KN895QU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2232948801',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>Emma Raducanu vs Barbora Krejcikova<\/h4>\n<p>Head-to-head: First meeting<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Raducanu, Krejcikova got a day off between matches after being the only round-of-16 clash to finish on the rain-affected second day. Although <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/tennis\/2021\/09\/11\/emma-raducanu-wins-maiden-grand-slam-at-us-open\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">the 2021 US Open champion<\/a> defeated Jaqueline Cristian in straight sets, there were several lengthy rallies, and she needs to recover sufficiently for a second match in as many days. Raducanu played a lot of defense against Cristian. Krejcikova, who possesses great variety, will not mind being patient in the rallies and trying to win with her craft. I think last year&#8217;s Wimbledon winner will get over the line.<br \/>\n<em>Prediction: Krejcikova in 2<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Credit: Susan Mullane-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The remaining round-of-16 matches will be completed on Day 4 in Seoul.
