Krejcikova Looks to Continue Her Revival
Despite dealing with physical issues, Barbora Krejcikova produced encouraging results during the recently concluded grass swing, reaching the final in 's-Hertogenbosch and the fourth round at Wimbledon.
Those performances should boost her confidence after an injury-hit season that has limited her schedule. Earlier this year, she also reached the final of the WTA 125 Parma event.
Overall, Krejcikova has played nine tournaments this season and cleared the opening-round hurdle in five of them. She will now look to build on her recent grass-court momentum.

Tomova Eyes Confidence-Boosting Victory
Viktoriya Tomova struggled with a lower back injury earlier this season and is still searching for her best form, with most of her tournaments ending in early-round exits.
The Bulgarian has played 13 events this year and won only three main-draw matches, highlighting her dip in form. Her best result came with a quarterfinal appearance at the WTA 125 Oeiras event.
Tomova will be hoping to revive her season this week and is looking for her first tour-level main-draw win since March.
