The round of 32 match of Korea Open 2023 between Eva Lys and Anna Karolina Schmiedlova will take place on October 10.
Eva Lys, a 21-year-old rising tennis talent, recently ventured into East Asia for her debut tournament. Her journey to Beijing followed an impressive run at the US Open, where she reached the second round as a qualifier. During the qualifying rounds, she triumphed over formidable opponents such as Leylah Fernandez and Cristina Bucsa, showcasing her potential. Despite playing only a little over 20 matches throughout the season, Eva is steadily approaching her goal of breaking into the top 100 rankings. Notably, three months ago, she achieved a significant milestone by reaching her first WTA quarterfinal. This remarkable feat occurred on the clay courts of Hamburg, where she defeated Mayar Sherif and Panna Udvardy, solidifying her rising status in professional tennis. Although she faced a setback with a loss to Jelena Ostapenko in the first round in Beijing, Eva Lys’s determination and progress hint at a bright future in the sport.
Over the past two months, Anna Karolina Schmiedlova embarked on a transatlantic journey, and her efforts were handsomely rewarded with a dozen victories across five tournaments. Her impressive run saw her advance to the quarterfinals in Prague, the semifinals at the 125K Barranquilla event, and the third round at the prestigious US Open. However, her crowning achievement came during an exceptional week in Parma. In Italy, the Slovakian tennis player reached the final of a clay-court event but narrowly missed out on the 125K title, falling to Ana Bogdan. Throughout the season, Schmiedlova has accumulated a modest total of 11 tour-level main draw victories, with six on hard courts and five on clay, yet this tally has been sufficient to maintain her position within the top 60 rankings. Schmiedlova’s tenacity and recent successes exemplify her determination on the professional tennis circuit.
