Petra Kvitova v Veronika Kudermetova Head to Head

Kvitova Knocks out Keys
Petra Kvitova started her run in the Western & Southern Open with a 7-5, 6-4 win over the local favourite Madison Keys. The former World No. 2 will now look to build on that success and deliver her first decent run on the tour since the Bad Homburg European Open.
Following that semifinal run in the German tournament, Kvitova has moved on to lose the opening round matches in the Wimbledon, WTA Prague, Tokyo Olympics and the Canadian Open last week.
Looking at her overall season so far, it has been a bit uneventful. Keeping aside a title run in WTA Qatar and quarterfinal appearances in Madrid and Stuttgart, the 31-year-old has struggled a bit on the tour this season.
The #12 ranked player has now got a chance to make amends for that although, in her last two appearances at Cincinnati, she was beaten in the second round itself. As for Kvitova’s best run here, it came in 2012 and 2018 when she made it as far as the semis.

Kudermetova Starts Strong
Veronika Kudermetova was off to a good start as well with a solid 6-3, 6-2 victory over the Italian qualifier Jasmine Paolini.
The 24-year-old Russian has enjoyed a breakthrough year on the singles and doubles circuit this season. In the former, she was the runner-up in WTA Abu Dhabi and the champion in WTA500 Charleston. Later, she also reached the semifinal in the Istanbul Cup.
In the latter, Kudermetova – partnered with Elena Vesnina – settled for the runner-up trophy in Wimbledon doubles in addition to reaching the semifinal in the Canadian Open, WTA Dubai, and the Olympics.
That said, Kudermetova’s fine form has taken a sharp drop in the last few tournaments. She picked up just one win in three grass events while in Montreal last week, she succumbed to Maria Sakkari in the second round.
Kvitova v Kudermetova Prediction and Tip
Kvitova’s experience and superior pedigree give her the edge here. However, Kudermetova is a player capable of punching well above her weight.
Expect an entertaining game of tennis, one that can very well go to three sets.
