One of Tuesday's matches at the WTA 250 event in Seoul sees Jelena Ostapenko take on Anastasia Zakharova. This is a match between the world number 32 and the world number 109. Both players arrive at this juncture looking to improve, with both players finding it tough to deliver anything like their best tennis during the recently concluded North American hard-court swing.
A former winner of this event, Jelena Ostapenko really should be lining up a big week. The Latvian has a clear opportunity to go deep into the tournament, and she can begin to do that by getting the better of a player whom she beat as recently as earlier this season. Ostapenko won this event back in 2017, before getting her hands on the prize again in 2022. In contrast, Anastasia Zakharova has never been beyond the first round in the South Korean capital.

Our Jelena Ostapenko vs Anastasia Zakharova Prediction
Jelena Ostapenko has had her issues in recent times, but she has a clear and obvious record of thriving in Seoul, where the conditions suit her game. Having won this event when it was a WTA 125 tournament, and again since it was upgraded to a 250-level event, the Latvian should get the job done here, and it really is that simple. She's previously defeated Anastasia Zakharova before, who has struggled massively to take on higher-ranked opponents in recent times.
