WTA Istanbul. Kristina Mladenovic and Petra Martic are going to play in the quarterfinal in Istanbul on Friday at 5 pm.
Kiki Mladenovic
Ranked no.66, the Frenchwoman aims at getting back to her past glory when she was a top10 player in 2017. Kristina had a rather lousy start of the season after she lost 4 consecutive matches in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and St. Petersburg. However, things started to change since she began her partnership with Sasha Bajin that helped “informally” Kristina in Miami. Kiki reached the quarters in the next tournament in Monterrey, and she also got in the final 8 in Istanbul after she dismissed Dayana Yastremska 6-3 6-4 and Katerina Kozlova 6-1 6-2.
Petra Martic
Ranked no.40, the Croatian had a great run in Charleston after she reached the semifinal. In Istanbul, Petra got to the quarters after beating Tamara Zidanek 3-6 6-1 6-3 and Ana Bogdan 4-6 7-5 6-3.
H2H Kristina Mladenovic vs. Petra Martic
