Shelby Rogers v Ana Bogdan Head to Head

There has been one previous meeting between these two players and that came earlier this year in Dubai. Bogdan won it in straight sets.

Rogers Coming off Solid Charleston Showing

After starting out with back to back opening round losses at the Adelaide International, Rogers finally won her first match of the season at the Australian Open. And she went down in the second round following that.

It was only in Abu Dhabi where Rogers started out as a qualifier and then won a couple of matches in a row to get to the quarterfinals. This was followed by successive second round exits at Dubai, Indian Wells and Miami for the American, giving her a win-loss record of 6-7.

In her first competition on clay that came at the Charleston Open, Rogers first shocked Danielle Collins in her first round match and then squeaked past Caty McNally in the second.

For the second time in the season then, Rogers was beaten by Belinda Bencic but she would take some confidence into this encounter despite her overall underwhelming record on clay.

Bogdan Scrapes Past Bondar

Bogdan needed three hours and three minutes but she made it through to the second round with a three-set win over Anna Bondar.

In a match where both players lost their serves five times apiece, Bogdan frittered away five match-points in the final set before completing the victory in the tie-breaker that followed. She squeaked through 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2) to complete a shaky victory.

Playing in her first match on clay for the season, Bogdan had to use every bit of her previous experience playing on this surface to come through with her victory.

She had been the runner-up at the Warsaw Open last season, won the title at Iasi on the ITF tour and then finished off the clay swing in 2022 with a semifinal at the Parma Open.

Can Bogdan now test out Rogers?

Rogers v Bogdan Prediction and Tip

Rogers does hold the edge but it might not be easy on clay against an opponent who relishes the surface. Might see another three-setter here.
