Petra Martic v Yulia Putintseva Head to Head
There have been two previous meetings between these two, both of which came in 2020 and were won by Putintseva in three sets apiece.

Martic Finalist at Linz
After having made an ordinary start to the season, Martic looked to have recovered some of the lost ground a week ago when she made it to the final of the Linz Open.
Martic, who ended up with the runner-up trophy after losing to Anastasia Potapova in the title-decider, had earlier gotten the better of Clara Tauson and Maria Sakkari to make it that far.
This came on the back of just three wins from seven matches for Martic spread across the first three tournaments she featured in.
More known for her exploits on clay, Martic will hope to emulate her showing here in 2020 when she had made the semifinal. In doing so she had defeated Anett Kontaveit too before Elena Rybakina got the better of her.
An opening round match here against a player who has beaten her earlier might not be a good omen but she would instead want to look at her previous tournament showing.

Putintseva 4-6 in 2023
Spread across five tournaments this season, Putintseva has played 10 main draw matches and has won just four of them. And yet, because of her even worse start to the season last year, Putintseva has improved her WTA ranking from 51st at the start of the season to 43rd at the moment.
Her last tournament appearance came at the Abu Dhabi Open where Putintseva had to go through the qualifiers to make the main draw. And facing Bianca Andreescu in the first round there, she was a 7/5 underdog going into that encounter.
That she defeated Andreescu in straight sets in that match speaks volumes about what Putintseva can do on a good day. Also, however, there is a matter of what could happen when she is not completely switched on as was the case in her opening round loss to Heather Watson in Hua Hin or when she went down in two sets to Anna Blinkova in Hobart.
The good news for Putintseva fans is she has been known to be a tenacious player on court and can be expected to put up a fight.
