However, her first-round opponent is no novice on the dirt, either – all six of Hercog’s tour-level finals have come on clay, including title runs at 2011 and 2012 Bastad and 2019 Lugano The field’s only former finalist is 2017 runner-up Kristyna Pliskova, who beat Jelena Jankovic and Jelena Ostapenko en route to that year’s championship match. So far, the Czech has struck 93 aces in 10 tour-level matches in 2020, the third most among all WTA players. In 2019, Kristyna hit 334 aces in 39 main draw matches – the fifth most on the tour – while sister Karolina led the tour with 488 aces in 67 matches Eleven players – Ana Bogdan, Aliona Bolsova, Linda Fruhvirtova, Varvara Gracheva, Barbora Krejcikova, Veronika Kudermetova, Jasmine Paolini, Aranxta Rus, Sara Sorribes Tormo, Patricia Maria Tig and Tamara Zidansek– are seeking their first career titles One to Watch – Dayana Yastremska.

On the tour’s restart last week in Palermo, she held two match points against Camila Giorgi before losing a thrilling quarterfinal shootout. Yastremska’s standout result in 2020 is a run to the final at Adelaide, beating Angelique Kerber, Donna Vekic and Aryna Sabalenka en route COUNTRY AND REGION BREAKDOWN Excluding qualifiers, a total of 14 countries and regions are represented in the main draw, tied for the lead with five players each is the home nation of the Czech Republic and Russia Belgium (1) Elise Mertens Canada (1) Eugenie Bouchard Croatia (1) Petra Martic Czech Republic (5) Linda Fruhvirtova, Barbora Krejcikova, Kristyna Pliskova, Katerina Siniakova, Barbora Strycova France (1) Fiona Ferro Germany (1) Laura Siegemund Italy (2) Camila Giorgi, Jasmine Paolini Latvia (1) Anastasija Sevastova Netherlands (1) Arantxa Rus Romania (4) Irina-Camelia Begu, Ana Bogdan, Simona Halep, Patricia Maria Tig Russia (5) Ekaterina Alexandrova, Varvara Gracheva, Daria Kasatkina, Veronika Kudermetova, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova Slovenia (2) Polona Hercog, Tamara Zidansek Spain (2) Aliona Bolsova, Sara Sorribes Tormo Ukraine (1) Dayana Yastremska Follow WTA on Twitter: www.twitter.com/WTA Facebook: www.facebook.com/WTA YouTube: www.youtube.com/WTA 2 MATCH NOTES: PRAGUE OPEN PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC | AUGUST 10-16, 2020 | USD $225,500 INTERNATIONAL WTA4LOVE – SUPPORTING THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY As part of the ongoing humanitarian campaign, WTA4Love, more than 100 community initiatives have been undertaken by WTA players and partners since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March. Many players are stepping up again to raise awareness by wearing WTA4Love patches during competition in support of the ongoing campaign as we return to play. WTA4Love initiatives have provided COVID-19 support ranging from donations of medical equipment to hospitals, including 30,000 masks donated to medical professionals through the efforts of the players and WTA Charities. Food insecurity has also been addressed by providing 24,000 meals to families and frontline workers and through fundraisers for local foodbanks. WTA Charities will continue to support the ongoing needs of communities with upcoming donations of 200,000 meals in partnership with Lilly Pulitzer. “WTA4Love” is a global campaign with activities and donations by players and WTA Charities in 14 of the countries which are home to WTA tournaments and most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including China, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States, among others. In addition to the urgent focus on the COVID-19 pandemic, WTA Charities has continued to support a wide range of nonprofit organizations including live video chats teaching leadership and character development to youth and offering support and positive messaging to Special Olympics participants.
