Bouzkova Looking to Maintain the Intensity of 2022
Marie Bouzkova is coming to Hobart having represented the Czech Republic at the United Cup.
She played two singles in the inaugural mixed-gender tournament, losing to Madison Keys of the U.S. in straight sets but winning against Germany’s Jule Niemeier, also in straight sets.
Currently sitting on a career-high ranking of No. 24, Bouzkova is coming off a 42-14 season. It was the best season so far in her career as she won her maiden WTA title in Prague and finished runner-up in Guadalajara. Bouzkova had previously reached two finals, but lost both of them.
The 24-year-old, who plays her best tennis on hard courts, lost to Sloane Stephens in the final in Guadalajara last year but captured her first ever title by beating Anastasia Potapova in the final in Prague.
Bouzkova, who also produced her best Grand Slam result by reaching the last eight in Wimbledon last year, will be looking to put up an even better performance in 2023.
She is seeded no. 1 in Hobart and there are high expectations from her to deliver.

Cristian Looking to Climb Back the Rankings
Facing Bouzkova will be Jaqueline Cristian, who missed out on a spot in the main draw in Auckland after falling in the second qualifying round.
Cristian, who had peaked to a career-high of no. 58 in January last year, injured her knee while playing Daria Kasatkina in Doha. That derailed her progress on the tour, as she was sidelined for six months due to the painful injury.
She came back to win the ITF Le Neubourg, France, bur could not have the same impact on the tour.
Now ranked no. 146th in the world, the 24-year-old’s first goal would be to break back into the top 100 in the world.
She had shown a lot of promise before the injury. She finished runner-up in Linz in 2021 and played her first two Grad Slams last year in Melbourne and New York.
It will be interesting to see if she can upset the top seed on Monday.
Bouzkova v Cristian Prediction and Tip
Bouzkova is the better player in this contest. She is more experienced, is in better form and is one of the favourites to win the tournament. Expect the top seed to win this contest and sail into the next round.
