Simona Waltert and Katarzyna Kawa, both unseeded, meet in the opening round of the Iasi Open. This is their third meeting of the season and fifth overall. Kawa is winless on the tour since April, and as such, this prediction favors Waltert.
Kawa is expected to see this fixture differently. The Pole has already lost twice to Waltert this season without even claiming a set and will be eager to avoid a third defeat.
She is also looking to end a lengthy stretch without a win on tour. Kawa hasn’t won at this level since reaching the quarter-finals in Bogota back in April. Currently 138th in the live ranking, Kawa lost her last two fixtures.
Waltert had lost back-to-back fixtures against Kawa before dishing the same treatment this season. Now she has the opportunity to take the lead in this series for the first time.
The Swiss star defeated Kawa in Oeiras and Bastad. At the Swedish Open, the win over Kawa laid the foundation for a surprise run to the final, her first final of the season.
Waltert, who has registered 14 of her 20 wins this term on clay, starts in Iasi as the WTA’s world number 85. The 25-year-old has never lost a first-round tie at this event and is a two-time quarter-finalist.
