Tamara Zidansek seeks another high-profile victory at the Iasi Open when she takes on second seed Petra Marcinko in the second round. This will be their second career meeting. With five of Zidansek's last nine outings ending in defeat, this prediction doesn't back her a lot.
Zidansek has shown true grit this week, prevailing in two tough showdowns. Both matches went the full distance, and she has been on the court for over five hours.
Zidansek is coming off one of the longest matches of the year, as her battle with seventh seed Anna Bondar lasted three hours and 31 minutes.
Ahead of her first quarter-final on tour this season, Zidansek has jumped to 145th in the live ranking.
Petra Marcinko, as the second seed, is ranked more than 100 places above Zidansek. She has, however, lost a bit of ground in the live ranking after dropping to 48th place.
Marcinko, who had lost three successive matches as she arrived in Iasi, has dropped one set in her two matches this week. She won in straight sets in the last round against the qualifier Elina Avanesyan, with both sets requiring a breaker.
This year’s Rabat champion, Marcinko, outlasted Zidansek when they squared off last year in Rome.

Marcinko is a clay specialist and beat Zidansek on a similar surface in their earlier clash. Though she has struggled a bit, Marcinko has performed much better than Zidansek on tour. The Croatian has also spent less time on the court this week than Zidansek and will definitely be fresher for this battle.
