Nikola Bartunkova meets Lilli Tagger in the first round of the Wuhan Open on October 12, a hard court encounter between two unseeded players ranked 29th and 55th respectively. Bartunkova arrives fresh off competition, playing five matches in the past two weeks. Tagger has had twelve days since her last outing.
Bartunkova has won four of her last five matches but dropped her most recent contest. Tagger has taken just one win in her last five, though her record over ten matches sits at 6-4. The two players have never faced each other. On hard courts, Bartunkova holds a 13-7 record; Tagger stands at 12-8 over a comparable sample.
Bartunkova relies on her serve as her primary weapon, while Tagger counters with aggressive groundstroke play. Bartunkova's recent hard court performance runs at 65%, compared to Tagger's 60%. The match will test whether Bartunkova's serve can hold up against Tagger's power from the baseline, and whether Tagger can break rhythm on return to establish her own pace early.
