Kudermetova Surprised at the French Open
Following a couple of top performances at the Madrid Open and the Italian Open where Kudermetova made the semifinals, she was stunned by Anna Karolina Schmiedlova in the very first round of the French Open.
It wasn’t just that she lost to a 6/1 underdog opponent, it was also that Kudermetova won a mere four games in the match that would be a cause for concern if everything was okay for the Russian.
She now enters a tournament where she had made the semifinal last year, defeating Belinda Bencic and Anna Blinkova on her way to get there. That should bring back the good memories for Kudermetova, erasing her woeful ouster from Roland-Garros just two weeks ago.
Kudermetova’s other challenge now would be to overcome a player she has lost to twice in the past including once at this very tournament in 2019. Can she kick-start her grass campaign with some solidity?

Riske’s Form Has Tapered off Drastically
A fourth round appearance at the US Open last year should have been a turn of something special for Riske. Instead it has been the start of a run of form that can, at best, be described as woeful.
Riske ended the 2022 on the back of four successive defeats including one in the first round of the Chennai Open, WTA Tokyo and San Diego Open and then started off this year with no main draw wins so far.
Yes, you read that right!
The American, who was ranked 18th in her career at one point and even a top-25 player till last season, has featured in nine tournaments this year and won no main draw matches. This includes a qualifying loss at the Adelaide International 1 and Adelaide International 2 and another opening defeat on the ITF circuit in Surbiton.
It would be a surprise if she manages to pull past Kudermetova here.
