TOURNAMENT TALKING POINTS

 After the tennis season’s resumption in Palermo following a five-month break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this week sees another clay court event, with six Top 30 players contesting the sixth edition of the Prague Open  Top seed this year is World No.2 Simona Halep, who opens up against Polona Hercog, while No.2 seed Petra Martic will face Varvara Gracheva  Halep is one of the tour’s leading exponent of clay court tennis, having lifted seven titles on the surface, including Roland Garros in 2018. 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. The talented 20-year-old enjoyed a stellar campaign in 2019, lifting titles at Hua Hin and Strasbourg and reaching the fourth round at Wimbledon. 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

WTA4LOVE – SUPPORTING THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY

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.  For more information on each player’s specific activities, please contact WTA Communications Manager, Teyva Sammet [email protected]
