Veronika Kudermetova vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova: Preview

World No. 19 Veronika Kudermetova has had one of the best seasons this year so far. She has enjoyed the ability to have made it to the last stages of the majority of tournaments she has played in so far. She still misses a title in her cabinet despite making it to the finals of the Hertogenbosch Open and the semi-finals of the Adelaide International 2, Qatar Open, Madrid Open, Italian Open, and the ongoing Japan Open would be her best opportunity to put her hands on the first silverware of the year.

At the ongoing Tokyo Open, Kudermetova beat Harriet Dart in the first-round encounter by 6-3, 7-6, and then went on to beat Kayla Day by a scoreline of 6-3, 6-3. In the quarter-finals, she pulled the trigger thereby leaving the entire tennis world shocked defeating first seed Iga Swiatek by a scoreline of 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.

On the other hand, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova has fallen out really badly dropping down the ranks considerably, and even had a very okayish kind of season so far. Anastasia has been fighting with her struggles with injuries for most parts of the year but despite that, she has made it to the finals of Grand EST Open 88 but eventually lost it to Arantxa Rus. Apart from that, she had a great Roland Garros thereby making it to the quarterfinals which was also her highest finish this year in terms of Majors performances.

At the ongoing Tokyo Open, Pavlyuchenkova beat Donna Vekic in the first-round encounter by 6-1, 6-1, and then went on to beat Linda Noskova by a scoreline of 6-3, 4-6, 6-0. Then in the quarter-finals, she went on to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova by 6-2, 7-5 taking herself just two places away from the silverware.
