This will be their first meeting on the WTA Tour.

Gracheva in a Rut
World No. 80 Varvara Gracheva is seeking a change of fortunes in Chennai as she starts the tournament as the number two seed.
The 22-year-old Russian arrived in India on the heels of an astonishing 10-match losing streak; her last WTA win came in the Valencia Challenger in June 2022 against Renata Zarazua in the first round.
Since then, Varvara has fallen to several lower-ranked players like Daniela Vismane, Olga Danilovic, Eva Lys, and Peyton Stearns. Most recently – in the United States tournament in Cleveland and US Open – she lost in the opener to Madison Brengle and Petra Martic.
The draw in Chennai may seem a bit more to her liking but in the quarterfinal – a round she should reach with some ease – Gracheva will play either Linda Fruhvirtova or Rebecca Peterson.
Earlier in the season, she peaked at a career-high of #59 with second-round appearances (as a qualifier) in WTA Dubai and Madrid Open. She is yet to win a WTA title.

Mariia Making her WTA Debut
Mariia Tkacheva, current World No. 366, has got a chance to make a name for herself here in Chennai.
Starting as a qualifier, she moved past the number nine seed Carole Monnet and the fourth seed Isabella Shinikova to reach the main draw.
This also marks her best WTA result of the season – which is not surprising since she has spent all of her time on the ITF circuit in a bid to build her form and momentum.
She has been fairly successful there with three singles titles and runner-up, alongside six doubles finals (four titles, two finalist trophies). Needless to say, Tkacheva is ready to leave her mark on the WTA Tour.
Gracheva v Tkacheva Prediction and Tip
Tkacheva’s chances of winning this one are quite good – considering the absolute rut of a season that her opponent Gracheva has endured. Backing her may not be the worst move to make but for those seeking a safer betting option, this match may see a fair number of games.
Tip: Over 20.5 Games: 5/6 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
