Paula Badosa vs Miheala Buzernescu: Preview
The Spaniard is experiencing a great time on the clay this season after reaching two consecutive finals in Charleston and Madrid. She has also beaten big names in Ashleigh Barty and Belinda Bencic on the dirt in 2021. For the year, she has only lost two matches and won nine on clay. She comes into this contest after beating Andrea Petkovic in the opening round. Given her recent run, she is expected to make another deep run in Belgrade this week.
On the other hand, the Romanian beat Patricia Tig after dropping the first set in the opening round. However, the 33-year-old has played only one match this year on the clay and that was in Bogota. Given her lack of match practice on the dirt this season, it is difficult to see her making any impact this week in Belgrade.
