Karolina Pliskova v Petra Martic Head to Head
Martic is one of the few players on the tour who holds a lead over Pliskova. She currently leads the Czech by 3-1, last beating her in the 2013 Wimbledon.
As for their most recent meeting, it took place earlier this season in the Miami Open, where Pliskova won 6-3, 6-4.
Business as Usual for Pliskova
Following her remarkable victory in the Italian Open a few weeks back, Pliskova has continued to play in the same vein, if not, better. She has been absolutely clinical in her opening matches in Paris, moving past the likes of Madison Brengle and Kristina Kucova in straight sets.
Pliskova is most definitely inspired by the prospect of becoming World No. 1. Her path has gotten considerably easier with Petra Kvitova and Kiki Bertens – two clay favourites, already out of the tournament.
Earlier this year, she also reached the final in Miami and quarterfinal in Dubai and Indian Wells. She also had a sensational run in the Australian Open where she made it as far as the final four.
Martic – A Formidable Opponent
Statistically speaking, Petra Martic holds a better record on clay this season in comparison to Pliskova. The 28-year-old Croat won the WTA Istanbul and reached the semifinal in Charleston, and the quarterfinal in Madrid.
In her journey, she defeated some big names like Belinda Bencic, Garbine Muguruza, and Angelique Kerber. Interestingly, before the clay season started, Martic was pretty much in the shadows, attempting to move past the early rounds in competitions.
Martic has proven herself in Paris, with clinical wins over Ons Jabeur and Kristina Mladenovic. The current Bucharest Open runner-up has also delivered her second-best performance in the Roland Garros.
Karolina Pliskova vs Petra Martic Predictions & Tips
This match is going to be quite interesting. While Pliskova is in a brilliant form, she is facing an opponent who is somewhat of a clay specialist. Martic is looking quite confident and having defeated the Czech thrice in the past, she will certainly fancy her chances once again.
