The finalist in the previous edition of the Hertogenbosch tournament (and for the second time in his career), when he handed 1-2 sets in front of Alexandru Krunic, Belgian Kirsten Flipkens, number 69 in the WTA rankings, qualified in the quarterfinals of the current edition thanks to the victory, 7-6, 7-5, won in the 32nd World Championship, Lesia Tsurenko.No less than 7 years have passed since Flipkens’s previous success in a WTA tournament, more precisely since September 2012, when he managed to award the tournament trophy in Quebec, Canada, a hard-hitting competition .

In the finals of the competition, Rybakina surpassed 6-3, 6-4 on world number 55, Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck.It is also worth mentioning that the Hertogenbosch tournament is the first grass-raced competition to take part in her 19-year-old professional tennis career, Elena Rybakina.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Kirsten Flipkens vs Elena Rybakina

Although it has not even yielded a single set along the four games played in this WTA tournament, young Elena Rybakina will meet on Friday a remarkable opponent, motivated to defend her points in the previous edition. So I will choose to count on a victory of much more experienced Belgian player Kirsten Flipkens.
