30-year old Kvitova has had a good season so far, although she is yet to win a title this season. The World No.12 reached quarterfinals of the Australian Open and was runner-up in Doha. Her 14 wins against 6 losses prove that she went deep in the tournaments this season. On the other hand, 22-year old Bouzkova has also performed decently in 2020, raking up 11 wins against 7 losses. The World No.48, though, had a miserable outing in Melbourne, bowing out in the first round itself. Her best finish came in the recently concluded Prague Open, where she made it to the quarters.
