Lucky loser Viktoria Morvayova has a date against sixth seed Polina Kudermetova at the Chennai Open. This will be the first meeting between the two players. Kudermetova comes here with a stronger run and our prediction backs her to win.

Morvayova will have a second bite at the cherry here after her loss in the qualifying rounds. The Slovak lost in three sets to Weronika Falkowska in her second-round qualifier.

Making her debut here, she will hope for a deep run, to address her 29-32 record gained from the tour and ITF events. Placed 316th in the live rank, Morvayova hasn’t been past the second round on the tour, and this is just her third main draw appearance.

Kudermetova will also be out to go the long way on her Chennai debut. The Uzbek had a poor outing in Guangzhou last week, her elimination coming in just the opening round as she fell to Janice Tjen.

Her fitness issues have come to the fore recently too, after she retired at Ningbo in the second round. The 23-year-old had her best run this season in Beijing, where she reached the third round.

Sitting 94th in the live ranking, Kudermetova has compiled a 40-24 record so far. A win here will level her first-round record, which currently reads 5-6.
