Prediction
Barbora Krejcikova, the Tallinn champion, defeated Shelby Rogers 6-2, 6-2 to get to Ostrava’s second round. Meanwhile, Belinda Bencic, the current Olympic gold medalist, took more than 2.5 hours to overcome Eugenie Bouchard, a former top-5 player, and move on to the Ostrava Open’s second round on Tuesday.
Bencic overcame the setback of a tight opening game in which both players held set points before Bouchard, competing in just her fifth match of the season due to injury, eventually won it 9-7. But the sixth-seeded Swiss player recovered to win the second set 6-1 and force a tiebreaker. Bencic gained the lead early in the third period of the sixth game. The former Wimbledon finalist put up a strong fight, earning two break points, but she had to hold her ground while serving for the match at 5-4.
After two hours and 39 minutes, Bencic managed to hold her serve to win 6-7 (7), 6-1, 6-4 and increase her professional record over Bouchard to 3-0. (Bouchard had won their only meeting in the junior circuit).
With a convincing victory over Rogers on Wednesday, World Number 23 Krejcikova extended her winning streak to six matches, building on her impressive victory at the Tallinn Open the previous week. The Czech will be thrilled to have returned in time for the Ostrava Open on home soil after having a difficult singles season due to injuries and inconsistent performances.
Bencic, the 14th-ranked player in the world, overcame a set deficit to defeat a resurgent Eugenie Bouchard on Tuesday. The Canadian will be open to a quick rematch with Krejcikova after the 26-year-old defeated her in a similar manner in the semifinals of the Tallinn Open last Saturday, and she will be game for it.
Bencic leads their head-to-head series 2-1; nevertheless, despite Krejcikova’s first victory over the Swiss, she should be able to advance to the quarterfinals thanks to home court advantage and the excitement of playing her best tennis once again. Choose the Czech to win this match outright or at least take a set in an accumulator. Given that they played two last week and three of their previous five sets on the court combined, you might choose to add at least a tiebreak in this situation.
