It will be a battle between two of the top three seeds in Athens when Barbora Krejcikova and Clara Tauson face off in the semi-finals. This is their third career meeting, and it comes three years after they last locked horns. 10 wins in the last 12 matches has Krejcikova as the favorite in this prediction.
Tauson is having a strong week in Athens. The Dane has won all her three matches here in straight sets. She outlasted fifth seed Sara Bejlek and has now improved to 13-15, with 11 of her victories being on hard courts.
A three-time tour champion, Tauson, who defeated Krejcikova in their last meeting, has moved up to 29th in the live ranking.
Krejcikova has grown in confidence in recent weeks, offsetting a difficult first half of the season. The Czech star has recorded 10 of her total 18 wins so far this term in her last 12 outings.
This purple patch started with the grass season, where she finished as runner-up in Hertogenbosch and in the round of 16 at Wimbledon. An injury forced the eight-time tour champion into pulling out of the Hertogenbosch final.
Yet to drop a set this week, Krejcikova is close to returning to the WTA top 30 and sits in 32nd place in the live ranking. To set up this clash with Tauson, the 30-year-old ousted Qinwen Zheng.
