Ajla Tomljanovic v Anna Karolina Schmiedlova Head to Head
World No. 45 Tomljanovic defeated Schmiedlova in their only meeting to date at the 2018 Monterrey first round.

Tomljanovic Suffers Melbourne Heartbreak
Ajla Tomljanovic came within a whisker of knocking out former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin in last week’s showdown at the Adelaide International.
Tomljanovic had outplayed the 12th-ranked American for large parts of their second-round match and appeared on course to post a straight-sets win. Having led 6-3 5-3, she was pegged back by the indefatigable Kenin who saved three match points to win 3-6 7-6 6-3 in two and half hours of intense tennis.
Defeat stung so badly to the 28-year-old Tomljanovic whose miss from a counter-drop on her third match point looked so easy on the eye. It was also quite perplexing at the manner in which Kenin managed to seize momentum given that she was woefully short of match practice.
Tomljanovic cannot rest on her laurels, nor contemplate her recent defeat. She has received a wild card at the Sydney International, and the Australian faithful will be in full voice once more.

Schmiedlova Imperious In Qualifying
Anna Karolina Schmiedlova looked in fine fettle in the qualifying rounds of the Sydney International. The Slovakian World No. 90 saw off the unranked Aussie Roisin Gilheany for the loss of three games. Things went even smoother in the next round against Vivian Heisen who took a measly one game off the 27-year-old.
Schmiedlova has forged a reputation as one of the fittest players in women’s tennis, owing to her endurance and fighting qualities. Her matches tend to last beyond the norm.
But so far in Syndey, she has tallied 110 minutes in two matches to reach the main draw. That return could make her a very dangerous proposition. With plenty of energy in the tank, the former World No. 26 is known for her swift movement across the baseline and plays with purpose.
Now that the 27-year-old qualifier has reached this stage unscathed and without expending too much energy, her unforced error should be at an all-time low.
Tomljanovic v Schmiedlova Prediction and Tip
Odds on the Slovak to win this could be worth a punt especially when you factor Tomljanovic’s lapses in concentration. But we are backing the Slovak to take a set in a very close contest.
Tip: Schmiedlova to win a set: 4/6 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
