Fourth seed Maria Sakkari takes on unseeded Polina Kudermetova in the first round of the inaugural Athens Open. This is their first career meeting, and Kudermetova will not be favored in this prediction, coming off two straight defeats.
Overall, Kudermetova is having a strong season, but she hasn’t had a consistent run on tour. The Uzbek star has won 30 matches, but only two of those wins were registered in the main draw at tour level.
She last won a fixture at this level back in March, in the first round in Charleston. Kudermetova, who battled through three qualifiers only to lose in the first round at Wimbledon, has lost her last two fixtures. The 23-year-old starts the week ranked 11th in the live ranking.
Maria Sakkari is an accomplished tour performer who has won multiple titles at this level and ranked as high as second. She, however, has seen her light dim in recent seasons, ranking outside the world's top 30.
Currently 38th in the live ranking, Sakkari will hope competing in her first-ever tour event on home soil brings along a significant boost. The Greek star has compiled a nervy 13-14 record and won just twice in her last six outings.
Sakkari snapped a three-match skid by finishing in the third round at Wimbledon last time out.
