Jil Teichmann vs Barbora Krejcikova: Preview

Jil Teichmann

Teichmann did not have  a great start to the year, as she was ousted in the very first round of the Australian Open 2020. After that though she put on a decent run. First she reached the Quarter Finals of the Phillip Island Trophy and then the Semi Final of the Adelaide International.

In the Dubai open so far, she is yet to drop a set. She took on Katarina Zavatska in the first round, beating her 6-1 6-2. Next up was Qatar Open champion Petra Kvitova who she beat via walkover while leading 6-2 3-4. In the third round she defeated Arab Woman Ons Jabeur, 6-3 6-3. In the Quarter Finals she got the better of Coco Gauff 6-3 6-3. Her first round opponent is Barbora Krejcikova. Krejcikova is most famous for being a doubles specialist, and quite naturally her returns in the singles game haven’t been that great.

She had reached the Second round of the Australian Open, but could not qualify for the Qatar Open. At the Dubai Open so far, she has shown some great form. In the very first round she beat the 16th seed Maria Sakkari, 6-2 7-6. In the second she got the better of Jeļena Ostapenko 6-3 6-1. She then beat veteran Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-3 6-2 in the third round, before defeating Anastasia Potapova 6-0 6-2 in the Quarter Finals.

Barbora Krejcikova

The two have met just once on the tour, and Krejcikova won that contest at the Ostrava Open 2020 in straight sets 6-3 6-2. So the head to head is 1-0 in favour of Krejcikova. 

Jil Teichmann vs Barbora Krejcikova: Prediction 

Jil Teichmann

Teichmann certainly plays her best tennis on the hard courts, and she has done enough in this tournament already to merit a favourite tag coming into this Semi Finals. Krejcikova is certainly in form and played possibly the best tennis she ever has in singles. 

Match Prediction: Swiss women Jil Teichmann to win in three sets.
