Paula Badosa v Ajla Tomljanovic Head to Head
There have been two previous meetings between these two players and Badosa has won them both. Both matches came earlier this year and in hard court competitions.
The first was a second round encounter at the Sydney International before they met again at the Australian Open opener. Badosa is yet to drop a set against Tomljanovic.

Badosa Coming Back from Match Retirement
Badosa is ranked fourth in the world but comes into this tournament on the back of a fitness issue.
Taking on Yulia Putintseva in the second round of the Canadian Open, Badosa was left feeling ill after a 77-minute long first set which her opponent eventually won 7-5. Down 1-0 in the second, Badosa had opted to retire from the encounter.
Earlier this year, Badosa had won her only title of the season in a hard court tournament though, lifting the Sydney International title. A semifinal in Indian Wells and a quarterfinal at Miami had followed soon after.
She would have liked to do a lot better than her quarterfinal exit two weeks ago in San Jose but would take heart from her win over the favourite Cori Gauff. Can she make it three wins in a row against Tomljanovic?

Tomljanovic Topples Townsend
It wasn’t the easiest of encounters for Tomljanovic but in the end she managed to get past Taylor Townsend to reach the second round of this Cincinnati Open.
Tomljanovic, who had needed to make it through two qualifying wins to get to the main draw, was on court for two hours and 20 minutes to carve out a 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 win over her American opponent.
Having lost her serve five times in the match, it was Tomljanovic’s fighting spirit that kept her in the encounter despite being down 3-1 in the final set. She stormed back to back Townsend twice but even after failing to serve it out at 5-3, another break of serve at 6-5 helped her clinch the encounter.
This follows another second round showing in Toronto last week where Tomljanovic had fallen to Iga Swiatek, again having made it through as a qualifier.
Can she put up a shock performance here?
