Prediction published on 08/02/2024, 05:26  by Daniel Ngulu in Tennis Predictions

Top seed Arantxa Rus and eighth seed Ana Bogdan will battle each other at the Transylvania Open quarterfinals. The winner will set up a semifinal showdown against either Clara Tauson, Jaqueline Cristian, Anastasija Sevastova, or Elina Avanesyan. Arantxa Rus is coming off a tiresome three-set battle against Alize Cornet. The match lasted for almost three hours and saw Rus come from a set down to win. This was her sixth win of the season in nine outings so far. The Dutch number one is now up two places to number 43 in the live ranking. Rus has lost all three matches she has faced off with Bogdan and will be eager to end this uninspiring run.

Ana Bogdan has dominated this fixture. She will be hoping to pick up from where they left off in their last match which was two seasons ago. One of Bogdan’s victories over Rus came on an indoor hard court. Bogdan made the Cluj Napoca quarterfinals last season. She has equaled this feat and will be confident of progressing on account of her dominance over Rus. The Romanian has had a shaky start to the year but has been dominant in her home tournament. Bogdan has won both her matches here without losing a set. She defeated the qualifier Erika Andreeva by the loss of eight games in the last round. Her fourth win of the season has allowed her to move up five places to 60th in the live ranking.
