Our tip: Lamens S. – Fruhvirtova L.: 2

29.03.2024 01:00

Linda Fruhvirt will play for her first quarterfinal of the season at the clay tournament in San Luis Potosí. Her opponent will be Suzan Lamens from the Netherlands.

The talented Czech has been heralded as having a big future. However, she was also ranked 49th at one point in the rankings. However, the 18-year-old teenager is currently struggling on the courts. In Indian Wells she failed to qualify and in Miami, where she got a ticket to the main event, she fell short in the first round to the home team’s Rogers.

So the older of the Fruhvirt sisters went in search of the lost form at the smaller stop-twenty. She also swapped the hard surface for clay and made her winning debut on it. Against the eighth-seeded Argentine Carle, she shone with a turnaround and a hard-earned triumph of 6:7(2), 6:4 and 7:6(5).

From this point of view, her upcoming encounter might not be that difficult. Lamens is ranked 156th in the rankings at the age of 24 and has never been higher. Her wins so far this year have come on the lower ITF circuit, where she has faced opponents of a completely different performance level. Her last appearance was at the indoor event in Ricany, where she lost to 17-year-old Czech Tereza Valenta in the first round. In San Luis, the draw awarded her the home qualifier Hinojosa Gómez, ranked eighth in the rankings, whom she defeated 6:4, 6:3.

What to bet on:

It’s been exactly two years since Fruhvirt, at just 16 years old, defeated Belarus’ Azarenka and Belgium’s Mertens in Miami. She has it in hand, no doubt, but she desperately needs to find her lost composure. And she might just be able to do that this week at a qualitatively weaker event in Mexico. If she wants to get back into the top 100, she simply has to beat ITF quality opponents.

Trust:

7/10
