Jelena Ostapenko has seen a late resurgence of form, making good and consistent runs across various tournaments. The former French Open champion comes to Moscow from a defeat in the semi-finals of the 2021 Indian Wells to eventual runner-up Victoria Azarenka. This is her 4th appearance at the Kremlin Cup and just the second in the main-draw and she is yet to win a match at the tournament.

Andrea Petkovic has not enjoyed the return to hardcourts since she won the 2021 Winners Open in Romania. She is yet to go past the 2nd round on hardcourts since then. Petkovic is also making her 4th Kremlin Cup appearance and 2nd main-draw appearance and is playing there for the first time since 2010 when she was defeated in the second round.
