THE LOWDOWN
REBEKA MASAROVA
The 22 year-old Spanish-Swiss Rebeka Masarova achieved her highest ranking of 230th in the world a fortnight ago. She is competing at her first ever Grand Slam tournament after an impressive performance in the competition qualification for this tournament. There is no Grand Slam record to go off for Masarova, as mentioned, but she did win the French Open Junior championships in 2016.
ANA BOGDAN
Ana Bogdan fell out of the top 100 in the world rankings as she comes into this tournament looking to repeat her four-time second round appearance at the US Open. The 28 year-old Romanian made it to the third round of the French Open in 2021 to equal her career best performance at a Grand Slam event.
THE PREDICTION
Masarova’s rise has been a slow one and she now comes up against one of the most experienced players on the circuit. Bogdan’s experience is a positive but it is clear that he has a ceiling. Despite that ceiling, she will expect to make it through this first round and whilst Masarova was impressive in qualification, it is Bogdan who is expected to win this first round match.
