Karolina Pliskova v Mariam Bolkvadze Head to Head
This is the first meeting between the two players on the circuit.
Pliskova with a Good Start
Looking to reach the US Open final once again, World No. 3 Karolina Pliskova started her campaign with an impressive performance over her compatriot Tereza Martincova. By all means, it was a demanding fixture for the number three seed, who had to subdue her opponent with 7-6(8), 7-6(7).
With that win, Pliskova has commenced her bid to become World No. 1. For her to do that, she needs to reach the semifinal at least and given her bracket, there is a possibility for her to do just that. So far this year, she has been in a rather brilliant form, having won a higher-tier title on every surface.
Her strike rate stands at 42-12 with Eastbourne International being her most recent trophy. She had a decent run in the US Open Series as well, having reached the quarterfinal in the Rogers Cup and Cincinnati Open, losing respectively to the finalists Bianca Andreescu and Svetlana Kuznetsova.
Mariam, in her Biggest Match
Currently ranked in the early 200s, Mariam Bolkvadze finds herself playing the biggest match of her career in New York. She has spent a majority of her time this year on the ITF circuit, preparing herself for moments like these.
The left-handed player has reached three ITF finals, with penultimate runs on a few other instances. At the Flushing Meadows, she started as a qualifier and against overwhelming odds, made it to the first round. In the opener, she knocked out Bernarda Pera in three sets.
Irrespective of the outcome here, the Georgian star will walk away with a substantial boost in the rankings and a sizeable prize amount.
