Antonia Lottner (Ger) vs. Tamara Korpatsch (Ger) – Score prediction (15.10.2019)

Preview and players comparison.

Korpatsch leads the series by 3-1. Three out of their previous meetings have come in German ITF tournaments, including when their latest one, at $60k Hechingen in August 2018. As they see each other off in a WTA main draw level for the first time, there is nothing much that heavily weighs in any player’s favor.

Tamara Korpatsch earned her first hard-court wins since January when she defeated Arantxa Rus in three sets and Coco Gauff in straight sets in the qualifyings of Linz last week. Ironically, while the German fell to eventual finalist Ostapenko in the first round, Gauff went on to win the tournament as the lucky loser. Before beating Rus at Linz, Korpatsch had not defeated a top 100 player on hard-courts since February 2017. However, on clay, she has registered four such wins in this season alone, most coming as part of her maiden WTA semifinal appearance at Lausanne, which earned her a career-best ranking of no. 107.

Another German, Antonia Lottner has passed the qualification of Luxembourg, which included challenging matches against Nina Stojanovic, 0-6, 6-4, 6-0, and 714th-ranked alternate Renata Voracova, 7-6, 6-2. It is her second main draw appearance in this city; previously lost the first-round match in 2014 to Niculescu. Similar to her countrywoman, Lottner has been far more productive on terre battue. Both of her season’s WTA main draw wins have come on this surface, upsetting Belinda Bencic at Lugano and Marie Bouzkova at Prague. The 23-year-old owns a 0-6 career record in tour-level main draw matches on hard-courts.
