Harmony Tan vs. Barbara Krejcikova – Prediction – WTA Linz (Austria) 10.11.2020

H2H: Harmony Tan v Barbara Krejcikova – comparison.

Krejcikova has enjoyed her share of success in Linz, winning the doubles trophy in 2019 with Siniakova. Han, on the other hand, has crisscrossed the Atlantic in recent weeks in search of form but remains unsuccessful. She will remain the underdog despite having won their only encounter at W25 Hong Kong this January.

Barbara Krejcikova has finally taken her singles career to the next level. Having never cleared the second round of a major in this discipline, the Czech beat 2019 Wimbledon semifinalist Strycova and 2020 US Open quarterfinalist Pironkova to reach the second week of Roland-Garros and came within a set of the quarterfinals. This result has given Krejcikova, a former world no. 1 and two-time major champion in doubles, her debut in the top 100 of the singles rankings. The 24-year-old is seeking to end her breakthrough season on a high at Linz, where her only previous singles appearance ended with a qualifying defeat to Naomi Broady in 2017.

Harmony Tan is still on the lookout for her maiden WTA main draw win. She made her latest and fifth such attempt at the home Grand Slam a few weeks ago and was beaten by Daria Kasatkina in straight sets. The Frenchwoman, who is yet to enter the top 200, has started her debut campaign in Linz in the qualifying draw. Tan took on higher-ranked, seeded opponents in the qualifyings, beating Kamilla Rakhimova, 6-2, 6-2, and Jaqueline Cristian, 4-1, ret., saving 7/7 breakpoints across both matches. The 23-year-old, who made four ITF semifinals before the break in 2020, is yet to score multiple completed wins in any outing since the resumption.
