Martincova Races Past Juvan
After falling in the first round of the Auckland Open, Terezza Martincova would be relieved to have got her first wins of the year in Hobart, even if they came in the qualifying rounds.
The Czech player who beat 14-year-old Emerson Jones of Australia in the first qualifying round on Saturday, knocked out Slovenia’s Kaja Juvan 6-0, 6-2 in the second qualifying round on Sunday.
Martincova was broken four times in the match by Emerson Jones, while she broke the Aussie eight times to win 6-3, 6-2. She tightened up her game on Sunday, saving all five of the break points that she faced against Juvan. She also had six break point chances in the match and seh took five of them to race past the Slovenian.
In her opening round match in Auckland, the world no. 71 had taken the first set against Julia Grabher, but was outplayed in the next two as the Austrian marched forward.
The 28-year-old Martincova, who had a fantastic 2021 season, which saw her reach her maiden WTA final in Prague, had a disappointing run in 2022. She finished with a 22-28 record in the season, from all competitions, reaching just one semifinal and that was in Nottingham. In addition she also reached two indoor quarterfinals but struggled to win consistently in all the other tournaments. Will 2023 be any different from 2022?

Siegemund Went 0-2 in United Cup
Facing Martincova will be 34-year-old German veteran Laura Siegemund, who comes into the tournament on the back of two disappointing results at the United Cup.
She also had a mixed run in her mixed doubles matches at the inaugural mixed-gender tournament, winning one and losing one.
In the singles, the German suffered straight set losses to the Czech Republic’s Petra Kvitova and the United States’ Jessica Pegula as Germany lost 2-3 and 0-5 to the Czech Republic and team USA respectively.
A former no. 27, Siegemund is a two-time winner on the tour from three finals, but all her finals came on clay courts and she hasn’t been in the title clash since winning in Stuttgart in 2017.
She has had a fair amount of success in doubles though and won three title last year from four finals.
In singles, Siegemund went 27-15 from all levels last year, wining two ITF titles on clay, the surface that has brought her the most success throughout her career. Hard courts have always challenged her in singles and in 2022, she had a 3-5 record on the surface.
Can she make an impact on hard this year?
Martincova v Siegemund Prediction and Tip
Although Siegemund has dominated the rivalry, Martincova starts the favourite in this tournament. The Czech is a better singles player and does well on hard courts, while the German struggles on hard surfaces. So Martincova starts the favourite and she should win in straight sets.
