Marie Bouzkova vs AK Schmeidlova will face each other in the first round of the 2023 Monterrey Open on Tuesday, February 28.
In the first two months of the season, Marie Bouzkova went unnoticed. She has competed in six tournaments, winning five games, and has lost six of her eight matches against top 100 players. She recently finished a Middle Eastern tour where she lost in the first round in Abu Dhabi, the qualifying round in Doha, and the second round in Dubai. Her success in Mexico would make her happy to go back there. She made her first career final here in Monterrey in 2020 and finished in the quarterfinals in 2022. She returned to Guadalajara for a WTA 1000 semifinal performance in October of last year after competing in her second Mexican WTA final there in February.
Anna Karolina Schmiedlova is attempting to earn her first victory since Melbourne, where she qualified for the second round by defeating Martina Trevisan, ranked No. 21 in the world. Despite the fact that her Italian opponent wasn’t a particularly strong hard-court player, the victory over the Italian marked her first top 100 triumph in a tournament since February 2022. Since the beginning of 2022, the former world No. 26 has struggled on the tour and has gone 4-14 in main draw matches against the top 100 players; at one point last year, she even went on a six-match losing streak. She is currently in Monterrey for the sixth time in her career, where she has lost the opening round three of the last five times.
