Prediction
Jelena Ostapenko and Veronika Kudermetova are set to meet for the second time. The two will be fighting each other for a place at the quarterfinals of the Guadalajara Open 2022.
Although not nearly with the same loser-goes-home scenario, there will be another direct matchup for the WTA Finals qualification. The lowest-ranked competitor left in the race is Ostapenko, who is ranked No. 18 overall. The Latvian would need to prevail in Guadalajara and hope that other outcomes would go her way, which is a long shot. As of right now, Kudermetova would qualify because she is currently in ninth place in the Live Race.
The Russian may lose this match and still qualify, but she will undoubtedly aim to advance as far as she can in Guadalajara to improve her standing. A victory here would ensure Kudermetova a spot in Fort Worth. The 25-year-old has varied in form all season, as is typical for Ostapenko. The Latvian displayed a high level during her title defence in Dubai, where she defeated Kudermetova in the championship match, as well as in her finals runs in Eastbourne and Seoul.
Despite not winning a title in 2022, Kudermetova has been surprisingly consistent, reaching three WTA finals and seven semifinals. Due to how resolute she was in her triumphs over Kudermetova and Lauren Davis in the opening round, backing Ostapenko won’t be a bad idea.
