A very balanced duel is announced in the first round of the women’s tournament in Seoul, between Slovenian Polona Hercog and Romanian Ana Bogdan, who is crossing an excellent form at the moment.

Polish Hercog

▫️Originally from Slovenia, at the age of 28, Polona Hercog is currently ranked 53rd in the WTA rankings, seeking the best career ranking, ranking 35th, in 2012.
▫️The best results of the year were obtained on the slab, winning the Lugano tournament, while at Roland Garros he reached the third round.
▫️In the US hardcore tournaments she went through a bad form, having been defeated in all the tournaments since the first round, and last week, in Zhengzhou, she was defeated in the second round by Karolina Pliskova, winner of the tournament.

Ana Bogdan

▫️Currently the 142nd WTA, the Romanian is going through a very good period lately.
▫️In the first 4 months of this season he did not get any victory, being defeated every time since the first round.
▫️Before the US Open, after a season of mediocre slum, he managed to qualify on the Wimbledon main board.
▫️He managed to get the best result at the US Open this year, by qualifying in the second round, and in Seoul he easily won the two qualifying matches, in minimum sets.

The two players have met so far in the circuit only once, 10 years ago, in an ITF tournament on the slab, when Polona Hercog won 2-1 at the sets.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Polona Hercog vs Ana Bogdan

Ana Bogdan is going through a better period than her opponent, having managed 8 victories in the last 10 matches, while Polona Hercog has only one victory in the last 5 matches in the circuit. But the experience of Poland Hercog is a superior one, and I expect a balanced match between the two players, the chances of victory being 50-50%, and the prognosis chosen by me is a long-term match, most likely decided in a set decisive.
