Kovinic Playing First Match Since Melbourne
Kovinic’s ranking has fluctuated with her form in recent years.
Once a top fifty player, she ahs been in three finals, most recently in Charleston last year, although she has finished on the losing side each time.
A poor run after that meant that was in danger of falling out of the top 100, but her exploits in Australia have given her a boost again.
She won her first round match at the Melbourne Summer Set, but then had to retire from the event with injury.
The Montenegrin qualified for Adelaide only to lose in the first round, but she then achieved her best ever result at a Grand Slam by reaching the third round of the Australian Open, with the highlight undoubtedly being her second round defeat of the US Open Champion, Emma Radecanu.
This will be her first match since then.
