Tamara Zidansek will take on Kimberly Birrell at the Korea Open on Tuesday. Up against a much higher-ranked player, the Slovenian may not be feeling too confident. Last time out, she was comfortably beaten by a top-100 player, while she's never previously played at this event before, which doesn't bode too well, especially given that she's up against a player who has done well in Seoul before.
In recent weeks, Kimberly Birrell hasn't looked anywhere near her best, but she should be buoyed by returning to her side of the world, where she's usually quite effective, especially against lower-ranked players. Having previously reached the quarter finals of this event, the Aussie looks to have a slightly better chance of beating the current world number 140 than the early odds suggest.

Our Tamara Zidansek vs Kimberly Birrell Prediction
There wasn't much to like about the way Tamara Zidansek crumbled against Maria Timofeeva last time out, so much so that she can't really be expected to defeat the world number 60. Don't be fooled byh Kimberly Birrell's North American form. The Aussie is much more herself in this part of the world, while she has the positive experience of previously reaching the quarters of this event. She's also never been knocked out in the first round in Seoul, which isn't easy to ignore.
