Bouzkova Struggling in 2023
It has not been an ideal quarter for Marie Bouzkova, who heads to Charleston with a 6-9 season record.
There were big expectations from the Czech at the start of the season, particularly after she had a 42-14 run last year. She also claimed her maiden WTA title in Prague in 2022, reached another final in Guadalajara and also made it to her first Grand Slam quarterfinal in Wimbledon.
But this year, Bouzkova has just not got going. She is yet to win consecutive main draw matches this season and will be hoping for a change of fortune in Charleston.
However, Bouzkova, who will be playing in Charleston for the second time, has not played much on clay in recent years and has a far better record on hard courts.
So clay brings another challenge for the 24-year-old world no. 36.

Bucsa Making Charleston Debut
Bouzkova will be wary of her first round opponent Cristina Bucsa, who comes into the tournament with better numbers.
The world no. 82, who went from the qualifiers to the third round of the Australian Open during her best ever major showing earlier this year, has an 8-6 season record.
She also won her first ever WTA 1000 match this year, winning the first round contest at Indian Wells.
Bucsa, who made the main draw of the tournament through the qualifiers, defeated Katie Swan in the first round, but she was stopped in the second round by Coco Gauff.
Bucsa is a good clay court player and has done well on the surface in the lower level tournaments. She will be playing in Charleston for the first time. Can she make an impression in the WTA 500 tournament?
Bouzkova v Bucsa Prediction and Tip
This is a tricky one for Bouzkova. The Czech is out of form, and out of her comfort zone as well. But she is a quality player and is expected to give her best against the world no. 82. Three sets seems imminent with Bouzkova edging past the Spaniard.
